How do you break up with your best friend?

Meet Lady, a determined sharp-tongued charmer who loves her best friend Gemma as much as she loves a late-night kebab. It’s Gemma’s birthday party. The two haven’t seen each other for six months.

cheeky little brown, by Papatango Prize winning playwright Nkenna Akunna (Some of Us Exist in the Future), is a failed night out, a musical, a show about heartbreak and queerness, taking place on a journey through the city Lady calls home.

With original songs, this coming-of-age story examines a friendship between two Black women, on diverging paths of self-love and acceptance.

“A beautiful ode to Black society and home” The Guardian on Black Love, written and directed by Chinonyerem Odimba.

“Emotionally rewarding, envisioning and compelling” West End Best Friend on Some of Us Exist in the Future by Nkenna Akunna.
