PRINCESS ESSEX opens at Shakespeare's Globe - featuring Simon Startin

Last night, PRINCESS ESSEX opened at Shakespeare's Globe - with Simon Startin as Mayor Ingram.

A fast-paced, music-filled, empowering comedy based on the incredible true story of the first woman of colour to enter a beauty pageant in the UK. Writer and performer Anne Odeke (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Globe) makes her Globe playwriting debut, celebrating unapologetic authenticity, audacity, and challenging the stereotypes that we still cling to.

Simon Startin is currently in repertory as Shakespeare's Globe - concurrently performing in THE TAMING OF THE SHREW (dir. Jude Christian).

Playing until October 26th.
