Welcome to the Supreme Court of African Justice.

Ragamuffin, the gangster with a swagger, is standing trial for crimes against the African community.

The evidence against him is the Broadwater Farm uprisings and the slave rebellions of the late 18th Century that saw the establishment of the first black republic of Haiti in 1804.

Ragamuffin offers a history lesson dressed up as a party with ragga music, hip-hop and sampling boom out to punctuate cases for the prosecution and the defence state.

The show contrasts events in 18th-Century Haiti with more recent events such as the deaths of Cynthia Jarrett, Stephen Lawrence and Damilola Taylor.

The audience plays the role of the jury and must decide whether Ragamuffin is guilty of causing the criminalisation of black youth or whether his actions and attitudes are justified by the centuries of oppression and prejudice he has endured.

This is a fiercely passionate work which reinvents political theatre by using cheeky humour and a healthy irreverence for right-on politics.

The result is a surprisingly upbeat but thought-provoking play.

Starts 7.30pm, tickets £6-£16.
