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.

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

In this ‘perfect send up of the one woman show’ (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.

 

BSL Performance: Mon 10 Mar

BLACK OUT Night: Tue 4 Mar

“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.”
