It’s 1986, and at the elite Aburi Girls Boarding School in Ghana, there is great excitement. The Miss Ghana pageant recruiter is shortly to arrive. Of course, who will be chosen is a foregone conclusion: Paulina is not just the leader of her clique but also the school’s queen bee. But then the new transfer student, Ericka, arrives, throwing uncertainty into the mix and making the girls question their allegiances. Jocelyn Bioh’s comedy premiered in New York to rave reviews and an enthusiastic audience response. The UK premiere is directed by 2022 Stage Debut Award winner Monique Touko.
