James Seabright: Black is the Color of my Voice

28 March @ 8:30 pm - 9:00 pm AEDT

Inspired by the life of Nina Simone, and featuring many of her most iconic songs performed live.

Apphia Campbell’s acclaimed play follows a successful singer and civil rights activist as she seeks redemption after the untimely death of her father. She reflects on the journey that took her from a young piano prodigy destined for a life in the service of the church, to a renowned jazz vocalist at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement.

The show has toured the UK to standing ovations and played sell-out seasons in Shanghai, New York, Edinburgh and the West End of London. Following an award-winning Australian premiere at Adelaide Fringe in 2023, the show comes to Sydney for the first time for a strictly limited run of six performances.
