Hide AdIt recalls the death of Mr Bayoh while in police custody on a Kirkcaldy street in 2015 - a case which his family still seek answers to.
It was written and directed by acclaimed spoken word artist and theatre-maker Hannah Lavery, and is an artistic response to the case, an expression of grief at the loss of the human behind the headlines and a non-apologetic reflection on identity and racism in Scotland today.
Lament for Sheku Bayoh will be available to view on 20 and 21 November.
