A snapshot of the remarkable story of Nina Simone, her musical crusade and commitment to the cause of Civil Rights, has been dramatised by two professional performers. A musical child prodigy Nina should have enjoyed a glittering classical career, but rejection by an all-white board of an elite conservatoire shaped the rest of her life.

This story is sung/narrated and describes aspects of Nina's life with her music providing a backdrop to the struggle of the Civil Rights Movement during the 1960s.

Performers:
Annette Reis Dunne B.Ed Dip Opera Perf.
Hazel Roy B.A (Combined Hons) M.A (Applied Theatre)
