What is J'Ouvert about?
J'Ouvert is set during Carnival meaning the streets of Notting Hill are alive with history, vibrant colour, feathers and sequins. Joseph's play is a timely reflection on the Black British experience and the sexual politics of Carnival. Two best friends, Jade and Nadine, are fighting for a space in a world they thought was already theirs. This is a hilarious and fearless play with friendship at the core, as the pair battle to preserve tradition in a society that frequently poses threat to women’s bodies.
