‘Marianne Jean-Baptiste’s performance is simply stunning. She is a survivor, a sympathetic authoritarian.'
The Times

Through the soulful sounds of the gospel choir, a profoundly moving story of "a community’s sense of love, grief and spiritual survival " will take centre stage in the National Theatre's production of James Baldwin’s The Amen Corner (1965).

The play poignantly addresses the role of a church in an African-American family and the effect of poverty, birthed from racial prejudice, on an African-American community.
