Queens of Sheba US Tour

By Jessica L. Hagan and Ryan Calais Cameron Fri 5 Jan - Sun 4 Feb 60 minutes
Following its US debut at Under the Radar Festival in New York City in January 2023, the award-winning Queens of Sheba returns to the United States for its first overseas tour.

Turned away from a nightclub for being “too black”, four women take to the stage with their own explosive true stories: the music and the misogyny, the dancing and the drinking, the women and, of course, the (white) men.

Loosely based on the DSTRKT nightspot incident of 2015, Queens of Sheba tells the hilarious, moving and uplifting stories of four passionate Black Women battling every-day misogynoir; where sexism meets racism.

A co-production between Nouveau Riche and Soho Theatre, presented in the USA in association with Under the Radar Festival.

Winner:  2020 OFF WEST END AWARDS Best Performance Piece

2018 Edinburgh Untapped Award

2018 The Stage Edinburgh Festival Award
