Previously, Kit said it’s demeaning to be called a ‘hunk’ after starring as character Milo in the 2014 film Pompeii.
He said: ‘It can sometimes feel like your art is being pushed aside because of your sex appeal. And I don’t like that’.
The play’s synopsis reads: “Three interracial couples undergo ‘Antebellum Sexual Performance Therapy’ because the black partners no longer feel sexual attraction to their white partners.”
In June, two of the performances at the Noel Coward Theater will only be open to an ‘all black identifying audience’.
It comes after playwright Jeremy O Harris defended the West End show’s nights exclusively for black audiences, saying black people can feel ‘safe in a place where they often don’t feel safe’.
On the evenings of July 17 and September 17, the theater will be open to an ‘entirely black-identifying audience’, so that black audiences can watch the play ‘free from the white gaze’.
The playwright said he was “so excited” to host nights in the West End where tickets were only sold to people who identified as black.
Yesterday he told BBC Sounds: ‘One of the things we have to remember is that people have to be radically invited into a space to know that they belong there, and in most places in the West poor and black people have been told that they do not belong in the theater.

“For me, as someone who wants and longs for black and brown people in the theater, who comes from a working-class background, who wants people who don’t make six figures to feel like theater is a place for them, it’s a necessity to to invite them radically with initiatives that say: ‘you are invited’. Especially you.’
When asked if it didn’t make him uncomfortable that it was in turn telling white people they couldn’t enter the space, he replied, “There’s a litany of places in our country that are generally only inhabited by white people, and no one questions that, and no one says you’re uninvited if you invite a black audience here.
‘The idea of a Black Out evening is to say that this is an evening where we specifically invite black people to fill the space, to feel safe together with many other black people in a place where they often don’t feel safe. feel safe.’
When asked if the theater felt that different, he said, “100%. Let’s not pretend we don’t know that culturally white audiences and black audiences react to things differently.”
He spoke of a history among black American audiences in which a “call and response” was common, agreeing, for example, that it could be a “noisier experience.”
“The white public in the West has decided to remain silent and respond politely to everything in front of them,” he said, although that has not always been the case in the past.
O Harris talked about how for Slave Play they would have over 200 tickets a week costing just £1, in an effort to be accessible to people from poorer backgrounds.
He said that he himself had not seen a play on Broadway until a year before going to Broadway because it was not financially feasible for him when he was younger.
A senior Tory MP, who did not want to be named, questioned the decision to exclude white people from the show, telling MailOnline: ‘I understand that the subject of the show may have particular resonance for some, but would simply question its legality. of this?
‘In other circles it would be illegal and racially discriminatory. I don’t understand why this isn’t the case.’
