As a spokesperson for Custody noted, prejudicial brutality while in custody of the police in the UK is a hot topic that is on the minds of many people. A creative production team and passionate cast is now ready to explore this topic through the form of Custody, the play.
Inspired by true stories, the spokesperson said Custody focuses on the moment when a young black man's life is taken from him by the enforcers of a system that is meant to protect him. The play follows the victim's bereaved family as they fight for justice and resolution.
"The play was created by Urbain Hayo and written by Tom Wainwright and was originally tested on a small audience in the form of a mini-production," the spokesperson said, adding that those who had the chance to experience the preview of the show reiterated how powerful the story is.
"The play presents the often-ignored perspective of a grieving family, stunned and angry at what happened to a man that was a son, brother, and fiance. Audience members expressed their desire to see the play become a full production, which already promises to captivate audiences with such a strong story."
In order to help pay for the costs associated with turning Custody into a full-length production, Urbain Hayo recently launched a fundraiser on Indiegogo. The production team hopes to raise £20,000 through crowdfunding.
"We need your support to help us stage a full-length play throughout the UK and beyond," the spokesperson said.
"Backing this project will enable us to stage the play in November and record it for the purpose of attracting more needed attention to this emotive story."
