“One thing makes me a moth to a flame. Oneness.
The missing piece…I’ve got to find it, because if not, if not…”
Meet Anna, she’s the dream. She is ‘young, gifted and Black’, driven, ambitious and smashing it…but there’s one thing that’s still missing. Love.
Is it her? Is it them? Is it the 21st century ideal of love itself?
Through a dynamic fusion of drama, poetry, dance and music (R&B, Hip Hop, Gospel) we see Anna take her Love Steps redefining love on her own terms.
In her debut play, writer Anastasia Osei-Kuffour shines a light on the pressures placed on people to find a significant other and questions whether finding love defines one’s identity and how self-worth and self-esteem can exist outside of that.

Typical
Soho Theatre On Demand
First performed in 2019 at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe before the hit play transferred to Soho Theatre for a sell-out run, Typical is a powerful exploration of racism and how British society stereotypes Black masculinity. This urgent and important new drama stars Hollyoaks regular and former EastEnders star Richard Blackwood reprising the critically acclaimed part he played in the original stage version.
Written by award-winning playwright Ryan Calais Cameron and directed by Anastasia Osei-Kuffour, Typical uncovers the man and the humanity behind the tragic true-life events of Black British ex-serviceman Christopher Alder and the injustice that still remains twenty years since his story emerged.
