'My name is Phyllis Princess James. I will wear this crown every
day. I will never take it off even when I am asleep.' Meet
Princess. A cheeky ten-year-old, with a plan to win the
Weston-super-Mare Beauty Contest. Trouble is, her mum is busy
working several jobs, her brother, a budding photographer, won't
even take her picture and then - The Hustler returns. In 1963
Bristol, as Black British Civil Rights campaigners walk onto the
streets, Princess finds out what it really means to be black and
beautiful. Chinonyerem Odimba's play Princess & The Hustler was
first seen at the Bristol Old Vic in February 2019, followed by a
UK tour, in a co-production between Eclipse Theatre Company,
Bristol Old Vic and Hull Truck Theatre, directed by Dawn Walton.
The play was shortlisted for the Alfred Fagon Best New Play Award
2018.
