- Doctor Who's Sharon Duncan-Brewster and BAFTA nominee Hayley Squires tackle family, race, and forgiveness in a gripping two-woman show grappling with colonialism and race.

- Book tickets now to experience a gripping and thought-provoking exploration of Black British identity at West End's Soho Place Theater.
This powerful two-woman drama, written by Roy Williams and Clint Dyer, is the final chapter in their thought-provoking Death of England trilogy. Previous installments garnered praise for their unflinching exploration of British identity with a Visionary Honours win and a BAFTA nomination for best play. Closing Time brings together Denise and Carly, played by Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Doctor Who) and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake), as they grapple with the fallout of their family's past and the complexities of race, forgiveness, and the lingering effects of colonialism.
