A tale of race, allyship, privilege and vulnerability
“I don’t agree with everything he says or does, but we do have a lot in common nowadays… and anyway I can’t be racist can I? My best mate is black.”
Runaku and Harry’s bond is so strong they could be brothers. They share the same food, music, laughs, computer games and even dreams – but not race. Runaku is black and Harry is white…but what does that matter, right?
When Runaku is rehomed, Harry is left behind in the care system, and these brothers start to walk down very different paths. Then on Harryʼs 18th birthday, Runaku returns for a dream reunion that turns into a nightmare situation.
Human Nurture was commissioned by Theatre Centre and was a co-production between Theatre Centre and Sheffield Theatres in 2022.
