Inspired by the life of Nina Simone, and featuring many of her most iconic songs performed live. 

Written by Apphia Campbell 

Apphia Campbell’s acclaimed play follows a successful singer and civil rights activist as she seeks redemption after the untimely death of her father. She reflects on the journey that took her from a young piano prodigy destined for a life in the service of the church, to a renowned jazz vocalist at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement. 

The show has toured the UK and Australia to standing ovations and played sell-out seasons in Shanghai, New York, Edinburgh and the West End of London. 

Winner: Best Theatre Award, Adelaide Fringe 2024
