Emmanuel Akwafo on Reclaiming Oscar Wilde’s An Ideal Husband for Today’s Queer Black London

I chat with actor Emmanuel Akwafo about the Lyric Hammersmith’s contemporary adaptation of An Ideal Husband, set among London’s Black elite. We explore how Emmanuel brings his Ghanaian heritage and queer identity to his dual roles, the challenges he’s faced in the industry, and why representation matters now more than ever.See An Ideal Husband at Lyric Hammersmith until 6 June 2026: https://lyric.co.uk/shows/an-ideal-husband/Follow Emmanuel on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eman.akwafo/Enjoyed this episode?
