A Tribute To Nina Simone!

Fringe First Award-winning playwright and performer Apphia Campbell brings her tour de force one-woman show about the life of venerated jazz singer and civil rights activist Nina Simone to London's Garrick Theatre! The show has earned standing ovations on tour in the United Kingdom and Australia, while selling out runs in Shanghai, New York City, Edinburgh and London’s West End.

A charismatic performer with the same sense of magnetism as the show's subject, Campbell invites the audience into the intimate climes of a hotel room where Simone has shut herself away to commune with her dead father, whilst attempting to kick alcohol and tobacco. Her vivid recollections of her time as a child prodigy from a strict, religious family, and her rejection from classical music college due to the color of her skin bubble to the surface, whilst memories of early successes as a jazz pianist pioneer and flash points of her activism seamlessly interweave with breathtaking performances of iconic Simone songs like 'I Loves You, Porgy', 'I Put A Spell On You' and 'Feeling Good'.
