Superhoe

The hit stage play behind the BAFTA-winning BBC TV drama series Mood, about a twenty-something who spends all her time on social media while dreaming of becoming a success.

The hit stage play behind the BAFTA-winning BBC TV drama series Mood. ‘I’m a singer-slash-rapper. I’m not the sort of girl that will be working in fucking Wetherspoons for eight pounds an hour.’Sasha Clayton is twenty-four and living with her mum, stepdad, and irritating little sister, in Plaistow, East London. She's gone from being the most popular girl at school, to spending most of her time on her own in her bedroom scrolling through social media. She may not have a job or a flat, and, admittedly her boyfriend's not answering her calls – but she's got talent and a dream. When she releases her first EP everything's going to change. Nicôle Lecky's play Superhoe was first staged in the Jerwood Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in January 2019, performed by its author and directed by Jade Lewis. It was the first collaboration between Talawa Theatre Company and the Royal Court. The play was adapted by Nicôle Lecky into the six-part BBC television drama series Mood, first broadcast in March 2022. The series went on to win the award for Best Mini-Series at the 2023 BAFTA TV awards.
