Saturday 31st July	New Directions in Black British Theatre: What are the current trends and new directions in Black theatre? Is it locked into a ghetto mentality (as some suggest) in terms of its language and subject matter? Can community theatre transcend these limiting categories? What are the roles of directors, producers and venues in the national and regional debates? Who are the new generation of playwrights? What are the intersections between Black British theatre and contemporary movements in Africa, the Caribbean and Asia? Come and join us for this lively topical debate.	@ the Drum 144 Potters Lane, Aston, Birmingham, B6 4UU. 1pm-4pm	£9 Organisations / £5 Individuals & Artists
