Palladini Productions Presents '1867' at the Brockley Jack Theatre
26th-31st October (Black History Month)
1867 is a moving new play inspired by the story of Madam CJ Walker,
who was the first self made, African American female millionaire.
Set during the late 1800’s and a few years after slavery had been
abolished the play celebrates the courage, strength and
entrapaneuralism of Delilah McAndrew. Having been the first member
of her family to be born free Delilah overcame the oppression, race
and sexual inequality to not only become a success but to also be
renowned for her philanthropic work and willingness to help others.
By the time of her death in 1919 Delilah McAndrew had built one of
the largest black owned manufacturing companies in the world which
included an international network of over 15,000 Delilah McAndrew
agents.
