N*gga: A One Woman Show about Language and Its Power

N*gger is being performed as part of Engine Room, a scratch night at Omnibus Theatre which invites audiences to bold, emerging theatre.

N*gger is a one woman show exploring the relationship between identity, power and language. The show uses poetic storytelling to track the journey of the N word, from the Portuguese/Spanish origin, to its use today.

N*gger is part scripted, part improvised and part English, part Portuguese, placing a history of conflict and reclamation side by side.

Performed by Nicole Acquah, writer of For a Black Girl.
