--------------------
A bold, beautiful mix of humour and heart, STARS is a moving story of one woman’s journey through memory, grief, and pleasure – set against the backdrop of outer space.

At the heart of it all is Mrs – an older Black woman who decides, finally, to go looking for her orgasm. Her journey begins on Earth, through three powerful connections:

A young neighbour who shares a painful truth
A bold and beautiful ex-colleague who calls her out and lifts her up
A gentle stranger at the launderette, with lavender and a knowing smile

Part sci-fi fantasy, part personal healing. The show blends theatre, music, animation and storytelling, all performed by one woman and a live DJ. Expect laughter, tenderness, and moments that stay with you.
