RE:EMERGE J’Ouvert West End play

What is J’Ouvert play about?

Its time for Carnival which means Notting Hill is bursting with colour, feathers and sequins whilst the streets are alive with history. J’Ouvert is a timely reflection on the Black British experience and the sexual politics of Carnival. The story follows two best friends, Jade and Nadine, who are fighting for a space in a world they thought was already theirs. This is a hilarious and fearless play with friendship at the core, as the pair battle to preserve tradition in a society that frequently poses threat to women’s bodies.
