About Red Velvet
Red Velvet is a 2012 play by Lolita Chakrabarti, dealing with the biography of the 19th century actor Ira Aldridge and his taking of the role of Othello as the first Black man to play this part on the British stage. The play premiered at the Tricycle Theatre, London from 11 October to 24 November 2012, with Aldridge played by Adrian Lester. Lester revived his role when the Tricycle Theatre Production collaborated with Kenneth Branagh Company’s season at the West End's Garrick theatre in 2016. It has since been produced by several theatres in the United States and Canada.
