WHY A BLACK WOMAN WILL NEVER BE PRIME MINISTER

Why a Black Woman will never be Prime Minister by Zakiyyah Deen

“This play is intended for two performers but can be performed solo or with a massive ensemble. In other words, f**k the rules and do what you want. The only thing I do request is that the Black woman is played by a Black woman. This is not open for interpretation. Safe.”

22 October — 9 November, Camden People’s Theatre

Set over nine months, this piece delves into intersectionality, British politics, and Black women's maternal health. Fusing satire, spoken word, and narrative, Zakiyyah Deen’s debut play directly addresses the real reasons: Why A Black Woman Never Be Prime Minister.

Zakiyyah extends a special thanks to all workshop participants and all Black mums for provocations, inspirations and conversations. Especially her own mum - without you this wouldn't be possible.
