After the huge success of the critically acclaimed Klook’s Last Stand (The Park Theatre), writing duo Chè Walker and Anoushka Lucas, bring the premiere of their new play to Theatre Royal Stratford East.
The all-female cast features London talent with MOBO award winner Allyson Ava-Brown, Jennifer Saayeng (Ghost the Musical, Hairspray) and Nina Toussaint-White (EastEnders, Switch). The trio are joined by award-winning jazz pianist Nikki Yeoh, renowned for her work with Courtney Pine and The Roots.
Set to a contemporary soulful jazz soundtrack, The Etienne Sisters explores what it means to be part of a family today. Families have their cracks, secrets and baggage, with the Etienne’s being no exception. Should families stick together through thick and thin? Should they always be there for each other in time of need? What happens when the family rock is taken away from you?
The Etienne Sisters reflects Theatre Royal Stratford East’s continued commitment to break new ground with musicals that bring contemporary and urban music into the mainstream of British Theatre.
