Omnibus Theatre’s Associate Artists Nouveau Riche bring their Untapped Award-winning Queens of Sheba to London for one night only before taking Edinburgh Festival Fringe by storm this August.

Queens of Sheba tells the stories of four black women who have been turned away from a night club for ‘being too black’ (based on the Dstrkt night spot incident of 2015). The drama focuses on the rise of Misogynoir (misogyny directed towards black women where race and gender both play roles in bias).

It is the story of strong passionate women who fight to overcome the terrors of oppression in a racist and sexist society. Queens of Sheba is a journey that travels through some of the harsh realities of our time.

WINNER: Underbelly & New Diorama Untapped-Award 2018

This is a special Pay What You Can event. Audiences can buy tickets from £5 to £15 at online, at the box office or over the phone.

“An explosively energetic, hilariously funny and socially urgent look at a group of black women’s day-to-day experiences.”

– David Byrne, Artistic Director, New Diorama Theatre

“If you have no understanding of what it means to be both female and black, go watch this. And if you do, then go watch this… See all those pieces and parts of your inner self. I urge you to catch this if you can.”

– Bechdale Theatre
