Help "The Cosby Satires" Make Its London Debut!

WHO:

Hey, folks! We are Shernā Ann Phillips, PhD (“Dr. Nae” for short) and Kyle Jackson, and we are thrilled to announce the London premiere of The Cosby Satires at the Camden Fringe Festival! https://camdenfringe.com/events/the-cosby-satires/

SYNOPSIS:

Pink Cactus Collective, LTD proudly presents THE COSBY SATIRES, a daring collection of one-act, sit-com style plays penned by American playwright, poet, activist, and actress Shernā Ann Phillips, PhD (“Dr. Nae” for short) under the direction of London-based, American actor and director Kyle Jackson.

Making its international debut at Camden Fringe, these satirical vignettes cleverly parody "The Cosby Show" and its spinoff "A Different World," while championing powerful messages about consent and choice, alongside a celebration of Black American HBCU culture.

PART I:

In PUDDING (A Cosby Satire), high school senior Thaddeus "Pudding" H is a closeted virgin who desperately wants to have sex. When his family confronts his lack of understanding regarding consent, they challenge his beliefs through provocative role play.

PART II:

In VIRTUE IN A DIFFERENT WORLD, amidst the chaos of Homecoming Weekend at Hilltop College, college sophomore Virtue H grapples with step practice, college life, and the complexities of a woman's right to choose.
