It’s a uniquely hilarious, heartbreaking dark comedy – it’s speed-dating on crack, with a heartfelt backstory of discrimination, human sexuality and multiculturalism.
“An incredible one-hour performance” — The Show Report
Written and performed by British-born Aisha Kumari (A Midsummer Night’s Dream; Fighting for her Family; Domestic Crusaders; Waffle the Wonder Dog; East is East), Treya’s Last Dance is a rollercoaster ride through the life, love and cultural struggles of Treya. The show is a superb addition to the growing roster of diaspora-related stories. During Treya’s clumsy quest to find a ‘life-partner,’ she stumbles upon something far more important: a reckoning with a recent and shocking tragedy. Unique, modern, a hit in NY & London, Treya delves into homophobia, culture clash and female sexuality in hilarious, brave and poignant ways as she struggles to preserve and adapt identity within swirling change: an ongoing topic familiar to us all, whatever our backgrounds.
