About Quaz Degraft
In the Black is a gripping dark comedy solo play written and performed by Quaz Degraft. It follows an ambitious Black accountant fighting for a place in the high-stakes world of Wall Street, torn between love, identity and the relentless pressure to succeed in a system that was never built for him. The show navigates questions of power, class and identity with both humour and intensity, building toward a central question: how far will he go to survive, and who will he become along the way?
Why see this show?
A solo show with sharp comic instincts and something real to say about ambition, identity and the cost of fitting into systems that exclude you. Quaz Degraft takes on a lot and handles it with wit.
