We were thrilled to perform at Wyvil Primary last week delivering our 'Hidden Figures' show!
But we were even more delighted to learn that one of the figures we explore, Len Garrison, had connections with the school; his wife worked there!

What you name your kid after you get tired of hearing “but he didn’t mean it like THAT, stop overreacting.” But seriously, this is a name for the #BlackBritishHistory books.
A chapter title from the book “Black Tudors: The Untold Story.” This chapter is named for Reasonable Blackman, The Silk Merchant.
