“We just have to wait for the Gullyman to show his face”
Classmates Khaleem, Joy, and Kai come face-to-face with Baitface the Gullyman, a mystical figure who steals the faces and identities of Black Boys. All it takes is walking beneath a pair of trainers thrown over a telephone wire.
G is a mysterious, new, coming-of-age play from award-winning playwright Tife Kusoro.
Inspired by childhood urban legends and afro-surrealism, G is the winner of the 2023 George Devine Award for plays and is directed by Monique Touko (School Girls; Or, the African Mean Girls Play).
G is a co-production with SISTER.
