The Golden Age of Hollywood was known for many milestones but was also the worst era in history when it came to the oppression of minorities. The 28-year-old Sidney Poitier in this true story is simply a regular guy with big plans: he wants to make his first feature film. But before he cemented his name as the first Oscar award-winning black actor, he was faced with a choice that would come to define his character. Retrograde, written by Ryan Calais Cameron, and directed by Amit Sharma, delves into a pivotal moment in the career of an industry icon, one that paved the way for newcomers, shifted public perception, and established the star's long reputation. With a limited run schedule of just 14 weeks, don't wait to see the 'exceptional' (The Guardian) drama with Retrograde tickets at the Apollo Theatre!
