Nina A Story about Me and Nina Simone

A searing and soulful theatre piece, inspired by the life and music of Nina Simone. Olivier Award nominee Josette Bushell- Mingo (Rafiki – Disney’s The Lion King) mixes story and song as she draws together tales from the life of Nina Simone and her own extraordinary career.

Taking in the singer’s political acts as part of the Civil Rights Movement in 1960s America as well as the struggles in her personal life, Josette finds a parallel with the persisting inequality in today’s society and questions how far we’ve really come.
