Photo Flash: Theatre Royal Stratford's SHALOM BABY
In 1930s Berlin - an intriguing city of jazz and underground cabaret overpowered by the rise of Hitler and World War II - the daughter of a Jewish family falls in love with their black shabbes goy (a term used for those who assist Jews on the Sabbath with tasks forbidden to Jews within Jewish law). Fast-forward to the tale of a mixed-race couple in seemingly unprejudiced modern-day Brooklyn, where the same family is coping with a number of calamities. Shalom Baby is a touching and very funny exploration of love, family and friendship.
Rikki Beadle-Blair first entertained audiences at Theatre Royal Stratford East with sell-out 2005 success Bashment, and returned with the hilarious Familyman in 2008. His other plays include FIT, which, along with Bashment, has been turned into a feature film.
