Inspired by a real-life Amnesty International report, Fanta Orange is a colourful and unexpected tale that gets under the skin of modern Africa. Regina is a Kenyan house servant. Roger is her white farmer boss. The two share a curious bond. Enter Ronnie, a privileged young English girl whom Roger discovers holed up in the bush, studying the bizarre practice of dirt-eating among local tribes. Soon both women are pregnant and a saga unfolds which turns every racial and sexual preconception on its head.
SALLY WOODCOCK was raised in Kenya and educated at Cambridge University, RADA and Kings College London. Woodcock has worked as a journalist, teacher and theatre practitioner, writing and producing comedies on the fringes of Edinburgh, London and New York. Woodcock also co-founded the Horseshoe Theatre Company which produced play texts for public exam students at theatres in Cambridge. Fanta Orange is Woodcock’s first full-length play and has been developed at RADA and the National Theatre Studio.
