Get ready for a whirlwind of poetry, comedy and song as the real-life married couple Sophia and Heleana Blackwell present their heart-warming show, Wife Material, at the Camden Fringe 2023.
This one-hour performance delivers an exciting exploration of what happens before and after love at first sight. Born from the personal experience of Heleana and Sophia, Wife Material throws a comedic lens on the lives of two women navigating love and marriage while being open to a world that isn’t always open about their sexuality.
Through a blend of humour, spoken word, and the occasional song-and-dance number, the duo dissects everything from dating disasters and lockdown love to being judged by your bank and the intricacies of dealing with Italian and West Indian mothers.
Delivered under the expert direction of multi-award-winning comedian Maria Shehata (The Comedy Guide to Life, Modern Dating Horror Stories), Wife Material is a celebration of silliness, queer joy, chosen family and the joyous discovery of someone whose eccentricities perfectly complement your own.
The show will open on August 6th at the Bill Murray in Islington, followed by performance on August 18th and 19th at the Camden People’s Theatre.
With love, laughter, and plenty of surprises, this is an event you won’t want to miss and is sure to leave you feeling both amused and enlightened.
