In a 🌍, an industry, where representation matters, today your girl will make history as the first woman of colour to EVER have her play on the main stage of @the_globe AND be in it!
Why is this important?
Because one of the last people to do this, was...Mr William Shakespeare – at Camberwell, London

Had a gorgeous day in the rehearsal room with the wonderful @anneodeke watching her play Princess Essex come to life with a brilliant cast, lead by the amazing and joyful direction of @RobinBelfield - coming to the @The_Globe next month, I can’t wait for you all to see it.

Thrilled thrilled thrilled THRILLED to be included in Natasha’s watchlist. Their taste in theatre has never steered me wrong - it feels like a badge of honour to be recommended by NT.
This week's Café Europa takes the form of a look-ahead at @edfringe featuring a list of the 15 shows I'm most intrigued by/excited about. You can read and subscribe via the link in my bio.
Highly recommend you go see @ChalkLine_'s The Chaos That Has Been & Will No Doubt Return. Just what I want from @edfringe - witty moving storytelling, ace direction, vibrant performances. LOVED it. A brilliant team SUCH GOID VIBES @Summerhallery
