{"product_id":"9781350270596","title":"Beats and Elements: A Hip Hop Theatre Trilogy : No Milk for the Foxes; DenMarked; High Rise eState of Mind by Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens","description":"This collection of three hip hop plays by Conrad Murray and his Beats \u0026amp; Elements collaborators Paul Cree, David Bonnick Junior and Lakeisha Lynch-Stevens, is the first publication of the critically acclaimed theatre-maker's work. The three plays use hip hop to highlight the inequalities produced by the UK's class system, and weave lyricism, musicality and dialogue to offer authentic accounts of inner-city life written by working-class Londoners. The plays are accompanied by two introductory essays: The first gives a specific social and historical context that helps readers make sense of the plays, the second positions hip hop as a contemporary literary form and offers some ways to read hip hop texts as literature. The collection also includes a foreword by leading hip hop theatre practitioner Jonzi D, interviews with the Beats \u0026amp; Elements company, and a glossary of words for students and international readers.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56298064707957,"sku":"9781350270596","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350270596.jpg?v=1762782319","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781350270596","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
