‘We don’t get to choose when we become women, y’know?’

Join Rey, Elle, Shan and Funmi. Armed with sugary snacks, school gossip, and secret questions they can only ask each other, their sleepovas are pretty much a sacred space for them

As each year tugs them further into adulthood and life doesn’t pan out quite as they imagined, they struggle to hold on to a friendship that they swore would last a lifetime. Sleepova is an ode to black women, their boundless spirits, and wild dreams. A new Bush Theatre commission from Matilda Feyiṣayọ Ibini (Little Miss Burden).

Nothing short of amazing, a beautiful production that explores several themes and is quintessentially blackity black - I love it!

Amanda

Best theatre I’ve ever seen!!! Funny, heartfelt, relatable and sometimes sad. Such incredible talented actresses! Hope to see them in theatres in the future. We were in awe and judging by the standing ovations afterwards we were not the only ones!

Sharon

Great performance, funny and emotive.

Ama

Honest, life experiences. This was like any conversation with friends, it was so natural it didn't seem staged

Well put together play in all aspects!

Julian Rainford

This is a brilliant play. Well worht seeing. The cast were outstanding to the point you'd have thought at times they were ad libbing rather than from a script.

10/10 I absolutely recommend this show. The girls performance were phenomenal and I was totally immersed in the show. There were some really hard hitting and touching storyline's. I'm even considering book again and taking my daughter.
