About Retrograde at the Apollo Theatre in London

It's the Golden Age in Hollywood, and the censorship against minorities is at an all-time high.

Based on a true story, Sidney Poitier is not yet the Oscar-winning, activist King that we know of today. 

Instead, he is a young man who dreams of starring in his first major motion picture in the heart of Hollywood. 

But behind closed doors, he's offered a contract that promises to make all his dreams come true - but at what cost? 

Will Sidney stay true to his inner being, or will he succumb to the Hollywood machine?

Centered around a young Black actor's journey to stardom during the 50's, Retrograde takes you on a journey of struggles and temptations as you explore the power of resilience and wisdom of integrity.
