Blackwash

Kwabena and producers champion colour-blind casting for Sin and Subterfuge, but tensions rise as he faces what it means to cast Black actors in a Regency-era of slavery and empire.

Kwabena’s long-awaited break comes with Sin and Subterfuge, a radical colour-blind Regency drama. What at first feels like a dream project soon raises unsettling questions, and Kwabena tries to find a solution. A spark with a talented actress comes at the worst possible time when an old flame resurfaces. Meanwhile, Funmi and Maurice sharpen their airs and graces in a bid to secure Mayowa a place at the borough’s top nursery.
