GrimeBoy is BACK (for one night only...)
Catch GrimeBoy in concert on TUE 1 AUG at 7pm.
As part of Birmingham Festival 23, we will be staging a FREE concert version of Rep Original show GrimeBoy next week in Centenary Square, featuring tracks from the original production plus NEW MUSIC.
Everybody has dreams, and my dream has always been easy to say, and nearly impossible to achieve. I want to be the biggest Grime MC in the country. I know what it takes: shell down raves, spin the opposition and never take my foot off the pedal. Every environment is more moody than the last, but every opportunity to shine has to be taken.
I’m built for this, but there’s always more in this life. What happens when your biggest rival becomes your best friend? How do you prepare for a battle that doesn’t involve the mic and the decks?”
The glimpse into grime was written by Casey Bailey, the Birmingham Poet Laureate and winner of the Greater Birmingham Future Face of Arts and Culture 2020. Directed by The Rep’s Associate Director Madeleine Kludje.
About the festival
10 days of FREE live music, performance and activities at Centenary Square from Fri 28 Jul to Sun 6 Aug. There will be something for everyone, with a focus on accessibility and local talent, enough to keep the whole family entertained for the whole day. Plus, each day is different, so why not plan to come along on multiple days and enjoy everything from Bhangra to Grime, Disco to Parkour, Discussion to Jazz, Sufi to Ceilidh and much more besides. Did we mention it’s all free…?
