Actors Touring Company and Belgrade Theatre Coventry, in association with Brixton House Theatre presents
Family Tree
Thu 11 May | 7.30pmFamily Tree is a beautifully poetic drama about race, health, the environment, and the incredible legacy of one of the most influential Black women of modern times.
Henrietta Lacks is one of most remarkable people in medical history. Her cells form the basis of the most important medical research happening today, from cancer to covid. But Henrietta never knew any of this, because her cells were taken without her permission. Henrietta was a Black woman: she is not the only one whose body has been exploited by the medical establishment.
Denied her place in history, now is the time for Henrietta’s incredible legacy to undergo a transformation.
