Due to ticket demand, Not Your Superwoman (formerly titled Superwoman Schema) is now extended until 1 November.
Starring celebrated actors Golda Rosheuvel (Bridgerton) and Letitia Wright (Black Panther), Not Your Superwoman, a world premiere production from Emma Dennis-Edwards, directed by Lynette Linton (Shifters), opens at Bush Theatre, London on 6 Sep 2025.
‘Everything thrown at me I should be able to handle.’
In the aftermath of the death of their matriarch, Joyce and her daughter Erica struggle with what to do next. She was the glue that held everything together, so what now? Joyce thought she’d set Erica up for a better life, given her everything she never had. But Erica wonders if, despite the therapy, the journalling, the recycling – maybe she is no different from her mum after all. Or her mum’s mum. Maybe they didn’t break the cycle. Maybe the cycle can never be broken.
Director Lynette Linton said, ‘I’m so thrilled that Golda and Letitia, two actresses I have long admired, have agreed to join me in my last season at the Bush. Both women recognise the importance of new writing and the development of creative talent that happens here. Without new practitioners being given opportunities to break through into the industry, there wouldn’t be Bridgerton or Black Panther, or Avengers. Emma Dennis-Edwards’ beautifully written play will be an incredible opportunity to see two women at the top of their game in a space as intimate as the Bush, and I can’t wait for audiences to meet Emma’s brilliant characters.’
