“One thing makes me a moth to a flame. Oneness.
The missing piece…I’ve got to find it, because if not, if not…”
Meet Anna, she’s the dream. She is ‘young, gifted and Black’, driven, ambitious and smashing it…but there’s one thing that’s still missing. Love.
Is it her? Is it them? Is it the 21st century ideal of love itself?
Through a dynamic fusion of drama, poetry, dance and music (R&B, Hip Hop, Gospel) we see Anna take her Love Steps redefining love on her own terms.
In her debut play, writer Anastasia Osei-Kuffour shines a light on the pressures placed on people to find a significant other and questions whether finding love defines one’s identity and how self-worth and self-esteem can exist outside of that.
Starring West-end star Sharon Rose (Sylvia, Hamilton) and Sex Education's Reece Richards (Netflix).
