Get £8 tickets for any upcoming performance of STARS by Mojisola Adebayo. This includes the special show on 17 June, which features a post-show event hosted by Jumoke Fashola.
A bold, beautiful mix of humour and heart, STARS is a moving story of one woman’s journey through memory, grief, and pleasure - set against the backdrop of outer space. At the heart of it all is Mrs - an older Black woman who decides, finally, to go looking for her orgasm.
Her journey begins on Earth, through three powerful connections:
With warmth and courage, Mrs takes off on a journey across the stars - part sci-fi fantasy, part personal healing. The show blends theatre, music, animation and storytelling, all performed by one woman and a live DJ. Expect laughter, tenderness, and moments that stay with you.
STARS draws from African mythology and celebrates Black, queer, feminist, and intersex lives - but at its heart, it’s a story about owning your body, your pleasure, and your voice. At any age.
STARS is running at Brixton House only until 28 June. Enter your code to claim your £8 tickets.
Recommended age: 14+
