Beatdown: Three Plays

by Joseph Jomo Pierre

Born Ready a.k.a. Black on Both Sides
BeatDown a.k.a. Life
Pusha-Man a.k.a. The Seed

Three plays from a startling new voice, Joseph Jomo Pierre. His world is one of fatherless children, where boys turn to drugs and guns while girls turn to motherhood at the blink of an eye, where the colour of your skin dictates the course your life will take, where your brothers are as
likely to pull you back down, as to help you get up.

“…an important new playwright, Joseph Jomo Pierre. He explores the young urban black experience with a keen ear and a strong sense of theatricality.”
