School Girls; Or, The African Mean Girls Play
Written by Jocelyn Bioh, Directed by Nina Lee Aquino
Produced by Obsidian Theatre Company in association with Nightwood Theatre
Paulina, the reigning Queen Bee at Ghana’s most exclusive boarding school, has her sights set on the Miss Universe pageant. But the mid-year arrival of Ericka, a new student with undeniable talent and beauty, captures the attention of the pageant recruiter — and Paulina’s hive-minded friends. Jocelyn Bioh’s buoyant and biting comedy explores the universal similarities (and glaring differences) facing teenage girls across the globe. How far would you go to be Queen Bee?
