About Sleepova
Rey, Elle, Shan and Funmi are four companions with a special alliance. Equipped with sweet treats, school secrets and questions only they know the answers to, their sleepovas are a symbolism of their unbreakable friendship, a sacred safe space where they can come together and truly be themselves in the golden days of their youth.
However, ageing is life and as each year adulthood creeps up on them - the hopes and aspirations of their youth seem further and further away. Suddenly, a bond that once seemed everlasting is now slipping through their fingers, but can it be saved? Sleepova is a celebration of black women, their limitless spirits and their boundless dreams.

Nothing short of amazing, a beautiful production that explores several themes and is quintessentially blackity black - I love it!
Best theatre I’ve ever seen!!! Funny, heartfelt, relatable and sometimes sad. Such incredible talented actresses! Hope to see them in theatres in the future. We were in awe and judging by the standing ovations afterwards we were not the only ones!
Great performance, funny and emotive.
Honest, life experiences. This was like any conversation with friends, it was so natural it didn't seem staged
A wonderful, joyous production - fabulous cast. It was brilliant!
Well put together play in all aspects!
This is a brilliant play. Well worht seeing. The cast were outstanding to the point you'd have thought at times they were ad libbing rather than from a script.
10/10 I absolutely recommend this show. The girls performance were phenomenal and I was totally immersed in the show. There were some really hard hitting and touching storyline's. I'm even considering book again and taking my daughter.
