View all →About This Event
Babylon will be performed at the Headingley Enterprise and Arts Centre in Leeds on 25 September 2026. This theatre piece presents an account of racism in South London during the Thatcher era through the story of the character Blue.
A strikingly honest portrait of Thatcher era racism in South London, Babylon tells the story of Blue (Brinsley Forde M.B.E), as he pursues his musical passions while navigating day to day systemic racism and anti-immigrant sentiment. Punctuated by Dennis Bovell and Aswad’s excellent soundtrack, the film’s emphasis on sound-system and reggae & dub culture as a form of powerful political resistance stands as a testament to its enduring relevance today, in both Leeds and the wider UK. DIRECTED BY Franco Rosso United Kingdom English 1980 95 MINS 15 Presented for Scalarama by Quick Thinking @Quickthinkingleeds
