For A Black Girl (2017-18)

I sound designed and operated For a Black Girl since its inception in 2017. I created and edited soundscapes that reflected the themes in the show, such as news reports as well as more abstract sound. It was first performed at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in 2017, and was part of VAULT Festival January 2018. The show also went on to tour at Camden People’s Theatre and The Curve Slough later in 2018.

‘…this is a vital and promising piece of theatre which perfectly fits into VAULT’s programming.’ - Ava Davies, (The Play’s The Thing UK)

‘The atmosphere sizzles with promise before Nicole Acquah’s For A Black Girl has even begun.’ - Daniel Perks, (Miro Magazine)

‘A cleverly written and passionately performed bombardment…’ - Tom Bailey, (Theatre Bubble)
