“don’t be surprised if in the blink of an eye you see these tings metamorphosize”
Michaela Cole stars in Bijan Sheibani’s new adaptation of Tirso de Molina’s 17th century comedy, ‘Jealous of Herself.’ With Aml Ameen as Melchor and Riz Ahmed as his sideman, Ventura, Sheibani’s production shines light on a new world – where invisibility is the main public enemy, and human connection is reduced to screen time. Come and watch as Magdalena (Michaela) navigates her way through this new world of dating, as she herself becomes entangled by the very web she spins.
Sheibani will break your heart and mend it again as he tackles beauty standards, online validation and race in this hilariously all-too-real production. ‘Jealous of Herself’ opens 8th of March at the National Theatre. Book your tickets now!
