Statement of Regret is a play by black British actor and playwright Kwame Kwei-Armah.

The play premiered in the National Theatre's Cottesloe Theatre, London, in 2007, directed by Jeremy Herrin.

[1] Kwaku Mackenzie, founder of a Black policy think tank, hits the bottle after his father's death.

As media interest in the once dynamic Institute fades, his team grows fractious and then, disastrously, he favours a young Oxford scholar over his own devastated son.

When, in a vain attempt to regain influence, he publicly champions division within the Black community, the consequences are shattering.
