Othello’s Sister
Meet Sherronlynetta
In 2024, we were thrilled to receive ACE Funding to bring our production, Othello’s Sister, to life.
This project allowed us to collaborate with incredible organisations and venues, including DWICA (Derby West Indian Community Association), Derby Theatre, Derby Museums, and Sheffield Theatres.
Audiences joined us for sharings of Othello’s Sister at Derby Museum and Sheffield Theatres, where they explored Sherronlynetta and Lauren’s journey of celebration, heritage, and self-discovery, uncovering themes of identity and culture along the way.
Through music, dance, and movement, the piece explored themes of identity, culture, and connections to Jamaica, weaving in elements inspired by Shakespeare’s Othello.
This project was brought to life by an amazing team of women of the global majority:
Artist: Lauren Nicole Whitter
Producer: Jade Samuels
Dramaturg/Director: Khadijah Ibrahiim
Movement Director: Ithalia Forel
Voice/ Dialect Coach: Eleanor Manners
Musical Director and Composer: Christella Ltras
Wellbeing and Mental Health Champion: Tandeka Williams
