A fresh and funny look at life in black and white.
Carol Midgley, The Times, 25th July 2023Dreaming Whilst Black review
This satirical element is deftly handled, highlighting the clumsy prejudices even - nay especially - found among the middle-class creative types trying so hard to be seen as liberal. Giving mere lip service to inclusivity, these characters are a rich source of wry, satirical and heartfelt scorn - scratch their slick veneer, and there's a David Brent beneath them all.
