And is she all that she seems?Anne Odeke's play Princess Essex is a riotous, satirical comedy based on the amazing true story of the first woman of colour to enter a beauty pageant in the UK.

Recensioner i media
'A blast of summer fun... a saucy and subversive tale of pride, prejudice and petticoat power that will have you laughing till your cockles rattle... would have the Bard chortling into his candyfloss... Highly recommended'
