Let us transport you to the Edwardian seaside this summer, as Anne Odeke’s (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Globe) new play based on the first woman of colour to enter a UK beauty pageant bursts onto the Globe stage. 

A fast-paced, music-filled satire inspired by an incredible true story, Robin Belfield (Twelfth Night, RSC) directs this tale of beauty, bravery, and belonging.
