<p><b>Winner of Best New Play at the Offies Awards 2024</b> <p/><i>My husband died and it's taken my whole life but Dr I've never had one and I want one before I die... My orgasm has got to be out there - somewhere! I know you all think I'm losing it that I'm some kind of a space cadet and you might just be right about that! So one last job for you Dr: I'll be needing a medical certificate to prove I am fit for travel. I am going away...</i> <p/>Meet Mrs: an old lady who goes into outer space... in search of her own orgasm. Isn't that where all orgasms go? Her quest is sparked by three encounters: a young neighbour who discloses a secret an old friend who reveals she is intersex and a would-be lesbian lover in a launderette who offers Mrs two drops of her own pressed lavender and a smile that says 'I handle delicates with care'. <p/>Told through one woman a live DJ and creative captions with animations by Candice Purwin: <i>STARS</i> is a moving and joyful sensitive yet funny Afrofuturist odyssey. A 'concept album on stage' the hugely original <i>STARS</i> is the latest play from internationally acclaimed theatre maker Alfred Fagon award-winner and George Devine Award 2022 finalist Mojisola Adebayo. <p/>This edition was published to coincide with the Tamasha and ICA co-production in April 2023.</p>
