Runnymede trustee interviewed in the Guardian

08 June 2010


One of the country's leading playwrights and Runnymede trustee Roy Williams talks about his route to the theatre in a recent Guardian interview.

Roy's new play 'Sucker Punch' is set in 1980s London, where racial tensions - both subtle and unsubtle - set the backdrop for life amid the horribly devisive Sus laws.

As Guardian journalist Simon Hatterstone puts it: 'It's not quite the "no blacks, no Irish, no dogs" generation, but it's not far off.'

In the interview Roy reveals that for him, as for so many of his generation one feels, 'every experience was refracted through race'.
