"Gil Scott-Heron is well known for his mesmerising mix of poetry and politics, he became known as 'the godfather of rap' and 'the black Bob Dylan'. He was also a novelist and activist, with a huge influence on rap, soul, slam-poetry and modern music generally.
This play takes its title from a classic example of a Gil Scott-Heron track."
