Stylized
The Dramatic Circle
Suzanne Alexander and her sister-in-law Alice, two African American writers in London, participate in an unusual literary circle's reading of Bram Stoker's Dracula. This is a radio play.
Beautiful Man
A scathing satire about the portrayal of women in film and television, three friends take us on a whirlwind tour of an upside-down world where women are the hunters, not the hunted; the heroes, not the victims; the subjects, not the objects, all while gazing at the semi-nude Beautiful Man. As three women dissect the latest Hollywood blockbuster, you’ll never watch your favourite binge-worthy shows the same way again. Narrative after narrative of strong female characters fold into each other, fusing into a brutally recognizable story.

Dead of Night … The Execution of ….
Nambi Kelley's monologue takes into account a Black woman's experience with police brutality. Kelley tells of an experience being abused by a white boyfriend and then being taken to jail because the police chose his side. Not only is the Black population marginalized, but women even more so.
