Temi Wilkey’s Main Character Energy transfers to Soho Theatre for a London Season.
Following a sold-out, critically acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Fringe, Temi Wilkey’s Main Character Energy, produced by Bobby Harding, transfers to Soho Theatre for a London season.
Written and performed by Temi (Winner: Stage Debut Award: Best Writer, 2020 for The High Table, Bush Theatre, Forbes 30 under 30), the show is directed by Ragevan Vasan.
A beautiful and supremely talented black actress is putting on an autobiographical one woman show to finally take up the space she’s been so routinely denied, and it’s your privilege and your pre-eminent pleasure to give her all the attention she deserves.
In this ‘perfect send up of the one woman show’ (The Guardian) our heroine is forced to confront her insatiable need for attention in a show that is as self-aware as it is self-indulgent. A high camp cocktail of comedy and cabaret, this flamboyant parody is an uplifting and life affirming celebration of embracing your most authentic self.
To celebrate the London season there will be a number of additional events.
Main Character Energy’s Karaoke Kabaret
A post-show night of People of Colour singing Karaoke, hosted by Temi Wilkey on Thursday 27 February.
