Glitterball

More Bassey than Bhangra...

Sonia’s life has always been a bit of a double act, brought up as one half of a Shirley Bassey tribute act

Alongside her overbearing mother Gloria, she left a trail of sequinsacross the working men’s clubs of East Anglia

Now she’s divorced, battling through the middle­age jungle, wrangling unimpressed teenagers and navigating rocky friendships

But the arrival of her half-brother Naim brings a refreshed sense of belonging and cultural identity, and she begins to piece together the mosaic of her life

Can Sonia shake off the past, even with her ever­present mother keeping ‘the show’ on the road from beyond the grave?

Glitterball is a play with live music, wry humour and a whole lotta sparkle - a vibrant monologue play about growing up caught between two cultures
