Details

by Janice Okoh

An outrageous play about imperialism, cross-racial adoption, cultural appropriation... and tea.

Brighton, 1862. A day in the life of Sarah, an African girl, adopted by Queen Victoria and raised in the Queen's circles. Today is the eve of her having to return to Africa, but will she go?

The Present. A day in the life of Sarah, a black middle-class woman staying in a Cheshire village with her husband and small child. They are paid a visit by well-meaning neighbours who have something to confess...

The two Sarahs meet Queen Victoria for tea. This won't be your regular tea party

Janice Okoh's play The Gift premiered on a UK tour by Eclipse Theatre in January 2020.
