debbie tucker green writes and directs her new play dissent for the Young Vic Main House, with Lashana Lynch returning to her work.
debbie tucker green, whose television drama random won a BAFTA, writes and directs her new play dissent at the Young Vic in Waterloo from Friday 5 March 2027. Lashana Lynch is in the cast.
Born in London, tucker green spent a decade as a stage manager before writing. Her play born bad, at Hampstead Theatre, won her the Olivier Award for Most Promising Newcomer in 2004.
Later plays include stoning mary at the Royal Court. She writes in clipped, overlapping speech rhythms, sets her name and titles in lower case, and has directed her own plays since truth and reconciliation in 2011.
dissent imagines a state that supplies the air conditioning and the cigarettes and asks only for compliance in return. It is a Young Vic production, made with Barbara Broccoli, and it plays the Main House until Saturday 24 April 2027.
Lynch, born in Hammersmith, has acted in two earlier tucker green plays: a profoundly affectionate, passionate devotion to someone (-noun) and ear for eye. She became the first Black woman to carry the 007 number, as Nomi in No Time to Die, and won the BAFTA Rising Star Award in 2022.
