Misfits

A Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch production

Misfits

By Anne Odeke, Guleraana Mir,  Kenny Emson and Sadie Hasler

An entertaining premiere capturing the true spirit of Essex and its people.

It’s 1908 and Joanna’s planning to provoke the attention of Southend and the whole of the nation, by becoming the first black woman to compete in a beauty pageant.

Fiza’s moved home with her parents. Under dire circumstances… At nearly 40. Will she pick herself up in time for the dreaded school reunion?

Tag’s out with the lads in 1998 – it’s his last night as a proper Essex boy. But there are last nights, and there are last nights.

Daisy’s having a baby.

Yep right now.

Actually having a baby.

The pain relief kicks in, the room goes fuzzy and she finds herself in 1978… in a glam rock band.

Four inspirational tales of Essex resilience intertwine to make an unmissable world premiere by some of the region’s most exciting playwrights.
