Dreaming Whilst Black’s writer and star Adjani Salmon, photographed inside the Piano Room at The House of Koko, London.Achieving your dreams often comes with a day job, and those day jobs can be soul-destroying. Unless, that is, they’re in the hands of Adjani Salmon, writer and star of BBC sitcom Dreaming Whilst Black – who makes their despair hilarious. Aspiring film-maker Kwabena (played by Salmon) is trapped in a drab career in recruitment.
Dreaming Whilst Black is a thought-provoking, dark comedy that delves into the world of microaggressions people encounter both in the workplace and in their everyday lives. Let’s face it, when confronted with discrimination and racist comments, one coping mechanism is to respond with humor while thinking “are you serious?”. This is precisely what Dreaming Whilst Black accomplishes, and its international success (including a BAFTA win) is a testament to its hilarious approach.
