Born on a slave ship in 1729; later becoming the fellow actor and friend of David Garrick and the first black person of African origin to vote in Britain; the life of Charles Ignatius Sancho was full of surprising; moving and funny twists. As Thomas Gainsborough paints his famous portrait; we are given an insight into the forgotten but true story of an African man who dared to act; write; sing; dance and voice his political opinion with wit and charm. One of the UKs finest actors; Paterson Joseph (Peep Show; Emperor Jones; Survivors) brings Sancho to life in this world premiere at the Burton Taylor Studio.
