Dreaming Whilst Black remains rich with funny, true observations, about the hypocrisies and degradations of working in TV, and Black British life in general.

While Kwabena isn’t in a dead-end job anymore, Dreaming Whilst Black shows how much of a struggle it will be to get his voice heard in the entertainment industry, which may even be more insular than the outside world.

In many respects, this bold and often very funny comedy demonstrates the complexity of the modern creative landscape where people of colour are being given more opportunities but still struggle in very particular ways. It’s a stew but a rich one, especially with the lively subplots.
