The Purists
About this book
Subcultures and generations collide in this New York comedy. On their stoop in Queens, New York, Lamont, a legendary emcee and Mr Bugz, a hall-of-fame DJ, have been winding up Gerry, a musical lover, for as long as they can remember. But when two young women, Nancy and Val, put their rap battling skills to the test, they are forced to confront their convictions on race, sexuality and music. Struggling with secrets and their fears for the future, they realise they have more in common than they thought. As this critically acclaimed show makes its European premiere, it asks – how far would you go to speak your truth? This edition was published to coincide with the London premiere at the Kiln Theatre in November 2024.
