Roots and Blossom Productions Presents My Nina Simone Trip – A Stage Play

Roots and Blossom Productions presents the premiere of its stage play “My Nina Simone Trip”.

My Nina Simone Trip

A unique, engaging, intelligent, endearing and enjoyable production – “My Nina Simone Trip”, is a hallucinatory journey of the loves, passion, pain, anger and complexities of the inimitable music, art and life of Nina Simone, written and performed by international award-winning actress, writer and vocalist Ese Brume, a lifelong fan of Nina Simone, whose journey on this project started 14 years ago.

This small and intimate production is a bold and fresh embodiment of the intricacies of Ms Simone as known to her legions of fans across the globe.

Directed by – Najite Dede, Brume’s performance is a dense rendering of the many layers of Nina Simone’s complex, thorny, and byzantine life.


This one-woman show is a commemoration of Ms Simone, framed with her music (some of which have been adapted with a domestic flavour), against a tapestry of intense and dramatic narratives, which will have you spellbound for the one-hour duration and beyond!
