1986. Ghana's prestigious Aburi Girls Boarding School.
Queen Bee Paulina and her crew excitedly await the arrival of the Miss Ghana pageant recruiter. It's clear that Paulina is in top position to take the title until her place is threatened by Ericka - a beautiful and talented new transfer student. As the friendship group's status quo is upended, who will be chosen for Miss Ghana and at what cost? Bursting with hilarity and joy, this award-winning comedy explores the universal similarities (and glaring differences) facing teenage girls around the world. This edition is published to coincide with the UK premiere at the Lyric Theatre, Hampstead, in June 2023.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Methuen DramaISBN-13:9781350407206ISBN-10:1350407208UPC:9781350407206Book Category:Drama, Performing ArtsBook Subcategory:African, Women Authors, TheaterSize:7.64 x 4.96 x 0.39 inchesWeight:0.272Product ID:SCWVXW5Y7N
