Playing Away

To mark the conclusion of its "Third World Week" celebration, a cricket team in a small English village invites a Black cricket team from South London to play a charity game, with hilarious results. A lighter film from legendary Trinidadian-born director Horace Ové, this biting comedy of manners (featuring an extraordinary cast of seminal Black British actors), is clear eyed about the limits of “polite” British society.

Featuring a virtual introduction by Jonathan Ali, Director of Programming for Third Horizon Film Festival. Co-presented by Third Horizon and Luminal Theater.
