Quotes from Press regarding my work. Gone too Far 2007 - In her remarkable Debut as a playwright Bola Agbaje walks two teenaged black brothers around a dilapidate London Council Estate.  She exploits their encounters to give us a jolting lesson about the range of identities, beliefs and anxieties concealed beneath black or blackish skin. Detaining Justice 2009 - The Tricycle's ambitious and richly rewarding series of new plays about the black experience in Britain today reaches its conclusion with this cracking contentious piece from Bola Agbaje. It concerns our immigration system, those who slip through the net, and its detention and deportation of those who don't succeed in entering into this country iilegally. Off the Endz 2010 - Bola has written a mordern reality play, what she is attacking in this 80 minute piece are self delusional dreams of criminalized black youth .
