Saw a wonderful show at the Brixton House on Wednesday night: STARS: An Afrofuturist Space Odyssey by Mojisola Adebayo. What an honest, dynamic, funny, moving piece of theatre. I would highly recommend- be quick it ends tomorrow night. I can’t praise Debra Michaels enough- what a fabulous performer.
