Are you destined to repeat ancestral patterns forever?

Welcome to the Blueprints programme, where we can protect you from the past.

Blueprints is the debut full-length play from Brummie writer Ashlee Elizabeth-Lolo. This Afro-futurist play is a Black love story, where one couple's relationship sees the personal, political and historical collide in a not-too-distant UK, where knowledge is at your fingertips and knowledge is power. 

Adam and Faith are in love and ready to start a family. But their backgrounds, their connections to their own Blackness, their ancestry and their futures are all part of the package. Enter “The Blueprints Programme” - an exciting new system that can tell you the entire history of your bloodline; what your child could inherit, and gives you the power to remove family traits forever. 

Blueprints explores themes of Blackness, cultural identity, spirituality, the blurring intersections of nature and technology, ancestry and love. Faced with their ancestral heritage, will Adam and Faith still want the same things for their future descendants? Blueprints asks, if you could know everything about your bloodline - if your history wasn't taught in schools - what would you want to know?
