7 d. ago ‘Every dark story is funny – and every funny story is dark’: Adjani Salmon on twisted satire Dreaming Whilst Black

With its surreal take on race in showbiz, the BBC comedy upended TV conventions – and wowed critics. Now, its writer and star is back to break the rules all over againThere’s a scene in the new series of Dreaming Whilst Black that truly nails the feeling of wanting the ground to open up and swallow you whole. After grinding it out as a recruitment consultant and a takeaway driver, struggling film-maker Kwabena has finally landed his first TV job, directing a prestigious period drama titled Sin and Subterfuge. It’s a gruelling gig, and the fact that the lead role has been given to a ditzy reality star with no acting experience proves to be the least of his worries. Under pressure to make a stationary carriage in front of a green screen look as though it’s actually moving, he instructs the crew to grab “leaves, branches, anything you can from outside any forms of foliage!” and wave them in front of the camera while vigorously shaking the vehicle.

One that may still be swimming under your radar – or perhaps just obscured by the massive orange flares going off every 30 seconds – is the multibillion dollar “troubled teen industry”. From sea to shining sea, the US is filled with privately run “therapeutic” institutions that promise to rehabilitate “difficult” teenagers and turn them into civilised members of society. They are often transported there by “teen escort services”, who come for the unsuspecting adolescents in the middle of the night and remove them against their – though not their parents’ – will from the family home. “But that’...
