Shalom Baby

Rikki Beadle-Blair first entertained audiences at Theatre Royal Stratford East with sell-out 2005 success Bashment, and returned with the hilarious Familyman in 2008. His other plays include FIT, which, along with Bashment, has been turned into a feature film.

" "Wildly ambitious and entertaining... I love the way the play is stroppy and soppy, bold and bashful all at the same time" - Guardian "In turns haunting, sad, funny and, ultimately, uplifting" - The Stage "Rikki Beadle-Blair has written a play that is both poetic, rhythmic and mesmerizing" - QX ""It throbs with life" - British Theatre Guide ""Shalom Baby hops between two forward-thinking (or at least forward-feeling) Jewish families, living in 1930s Berlin and modern-day New York. It's a lot to unpick. But there are also great bursts of energy and invention, particularly when it comes to Beadle-Blair's thunderingly expressive rap monologues."" 4 Stars. Time Out "There are inspired moments [and] quivering passion in Beadle-Blair's slam poetry interludes" - Metro"
