Slave Play: Kit Harington defends theatre's 'black out' nights

Slave Play, which has just opened in London, has nights with dedicated performances for black audiences.

Actor Kit Harington has defended his new play having dedicated performances for black audiences, denying that the initiative discriminates against white people. The Game of Thrones star also told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg that the first black out performance, which took place earlier this month, was an "incredible show". "And I do believe with this play and what it’s saying, that having a place where a certain group of people can come and feel open to laughing in a certain way, reacting in a certain way, in sort of safety, for two nights of the entire run, is a great thing."
