A superb revival of Pearl Cleage’s 1995 work brought to magical life by a scintillating performance from Samira Wiley as protagonist Angel Allen and Guy Jacobs her flighty but tough best friend.
5 November 2022
Writer: Pearl Cleage
Director: Lynette Linton
Duration: 2 hours, 45 minutes. One interval.
