The London revival of Assata Taught Me has gained a significant new Associate Producer: David Ajala's production outfit, VP & Chairman. The play, penned and directed by Kalungi Ssebandeke, is scheduled to run from May 12 to May 24 at Riverside Studios in London.

Susan Lawson-Reynolds will portray Assata Shakur, an influential American activist and author who spent years in exile in Cuba.
