Description
Phyllis Princess James is determined to wear her crown every day. She's entered the Weston-super-Mare Beauty Contest and won't let anything get in her way. But when her mum is busy working multiple jobs and her brother refuses to take her picture, things start to fall apart. Then The Hustler returns, bringing with it a powerful message about what it means to be black and beautiful. In 1963 Bristol, as Black British Civil Rights campaigners take to the streets, Phyllis finds herself at the centre of a movement that will change her life forever. Chinonyerem Odimba's play explores themes of identity, community, and the power of self-expression. First performed at the Bristol Old Vic in February 2019, Princess & The Hustler has been hailed as a powerful and timely work of drama.
