Princess & The Hustler (NHB Modern Plays)

By Chinonyerem Odimba

Meet Princess. A cheeky 10 year old, with a plan to win the Weston-Super-Mare Beauty Contest. Trouble is, her mum is busy working several jobs, her brother, a budding photographer, won't even take her picture and then... The Hustler returns.
In 1963 Bristol, as Black British Civil Rights campaigners walk onto the streets, Princess finds out what it really means to be black and beautiful.
Chinonyerem Odimba's play Princess & The Hustler premiered on a UK tour in February 2019.
