Photo Flash: 'Let There Be Love' at Tricycle Theatre

Kwame Kwei-Armah's Let There be Love, withe Joseph Marcell, Sharon Duncan-Brewster and Lydia Leonard, debuts tonight January 17 at Tricycle Theatre through February 16, 2008, with press night on January 21.

Set against the music of Nat King Cole, Let There be Love, a Tricycle Bloomberg Commission, is an immigrant's tale of beginnings, endings and Britishness.  Designs are by 2007 Linbury prize-winning Helen Goddard.  Let There Be Love, part of the Tricycle's Bloomberg New Writing Scheme for New Audiences, is sponsored by the Kobler Trust.

"When West Indian pensioner Alfred Morris is kicked out of his daughter's Croydon house he returns to his Willesden home to find he's been gifted a 'Polish cleaner/home help'. Eager to learn the ways of her new land, the cantankerous and xenophobic Alfred realizes that he may indeed still have a role in life: he could teach Maria to be British – and if he succeeds, maybe she might help him in the most unexpected way!" explain press notes.
