“She’s casual, she’s chill, she’s not trying too-too hard but she could also ruin your life”.Written and performed by award-winning writer and actress Obehi Janice (Blindspotting on Starz, Dicktown on FX) comes Nova - a new theatre-storytelling show following a Nigerian-American comedian as she navigates desire, power, and pussy. Nova is a bit of a romantic. She’s smooth. She’s good with her words. And she loves to fuck.She’s making an archive - a gallery of lovers - The Story of Her Life.Nova has discovered that Giacomo Casanova, ‘best known as one of the most famous lovers in history’, did the same. Why does this scammy white European man claim the title and the story? Casanova exists in notoriety and glory but Nova does it better.Funny, insightful and groundbreaking, Nova moves us through a series of her romantic and sexual entanglements that will make us laugh, squirm, and holler. Co-produced by Pemberley Productions and The Royal Lyceum Theatre Edinburgh in association with PW Productions, Nova is the final show - and the only show the world ever really needed - about Casanova.
