Win tickets to see Sidney Poitier drama Retrograde

SIDNEY POITIER: TRAILBLAZER, ACTIVIST, ICON

‘Yes, it's honestly that good’ The Telegraph

Following its sold out run at the Kiln Theatre, Ryan Calais Cameron‘s ‘electrifying’ (Evening Standard) Retrograde is playing at the Apollo Theatre for a strictly limited run.

Ten years before he becomes the first Black man to win the Oscar for Best Actor, this gripping drama captures the moment a young Sidney Poitier prepares to sign a career-defining Hollywood contract that could make him a star. But there’s a catch. Will he put his career before his principles? In a time of betrayals, will he name names? Will he sign his life away?

Inspired by real events, this ‘exceptional’ (The Guardian) play directed by the Kiln Theatre’s Artistic Director Amit Sharma, features Ivanno Jeremiah (Constellations) reprising his ‘tremendous’ (Time Out) performance as Sidney Poitier, opposite Stanley Townsend (Netflix’s Kaos) and Oliver Johnstone (Antigone).

Retrograde follows Ryan’s smash hit ‘modern masterpiece’ (The Sunday Times) For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When The Hue Gets Too Heavy – so good it sold out twice – cementing his place as ‘one of theatre’s most thrilling voices’ (Independent).

Retrograde is playing at the Apollo Theatre from Saturday 8 March to Saturday 14 June 2025 - Tickets from £20. Book Now.
