cheeky little brown

Leading British African heritage contemporary theatre company tiata fahodzi’s critically acclaimed cheeky little brown available to stream from 1st October - 2nd November

How do you break up with your best friend? 

“When you’ve known someone basically your whole life, Since you were five, And you know all the same people, And everyone you know knows you as one special Thing, Sister-friends.”

Part musical, part drama, cheeky little brown is a profound,  surreal and comic exploration of friendship, queer love, and heartbreak studded with snappy comedic intrigue and glittering prose.

Starring Tiajna Amayo as Lady - a determined, sharp-tongued charmer who loves her best friend Gemma, lamb doner and a good night out - cheeky little brown explores a coming-of-age story that examines a friendship between two Black women on diverging paths of self-love and acceptance.

"Akunna’s writing exudes the panic and uncertainty of life your early 20s…For anyone who has ever reluctantly taken a different path from a loved one, this play will soar with relevance"
