A beautiful and supremely talented black actress, is putting on an autobiographical one woman show to finally take up the space she’s been so routinely denied.

 and it’s your privilege, your honour and your pre-eminent pleasure to give her all the attention she deserves. 

‘A dazzling and ultimately unforgettable hour’
Diva

In this ‘perfect send up of the one woman show’ (The Guardian) our heroine is forced to confront her insatiable need for attention in a show that is as self-aware as it is self-indulgent. A high camp cocktail of comedy and cabaret, this flamboyant parody is an uplifting and life affirming celebration of embracing your most authentic self.

‘Of all the solo shows to see this year, this must be at the top of your list.’
Skinny

Access: BSL performance on Monday 10 March

As part of Main Character Energy’s run at Soho Theatre we will be hosting a BLACK OUT night on Tuesday 4 March. 

“A concept birthed by Slave Play playwright Jeremy O. Harris, a BLACK OUT is the purposeful creation of an environment in which an all-Black-identifying audience can experience and discuss an event in the performing arts – free from the white gaze.”
