This collection of three hip hop plays by Conrad Murray and his
Beats & Elements collaborators Paul Cree, David Bonnick Junior
and Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens, is the first publication of the
critically acclaimed theatre-maker's work. The three plays use hip
hop to highlight the inequalities produced by the UK's class
system, and weave lyricism, musicality and dialogue to offer
authentic accounts of inner-city life written by working-class
Londoners. The plays are accompanied by two introductory essays:
The first gives a specific social and historical context that helps
readers make sense of the plays, the second positions hip hop as a
contemporary literary form and offers some ways to read hip hop
texts as literature. The collection also includes a foreword by
leading hip hop theatre practitioner Jonzi D, interviews with the
Beats & Elements company, and a glossary of words for students
and international readers.
