Through stand-up, poetry, and musical comedy, real-life married couple Heleana and Sophia Blackwell take a frank and left-field look at what happens before and after love at first sight.
Wife Material is a show about growing up under the shadow of the homophobic section 28, and small-town racism and standing out as your true self in a world that wants you to be just like everyone else. It includes dating disasters, lockdown love, and the similarities and differences between Italian and West Indian mothers, plus advice on the best way to fit a duvet cover and how to cope with being slut-shamed by your bank. Directed by multi-award-winning comedian Maria Shehata, Wife Material is a celebration of silliness, chosen family, and queer joy.
“It means so much to be working at CPT, it’s such a good opportunity to work in a professional environment at my age. I didn’t think that was ever going to happen and it means the world to me. It’s really going to help prepare me for my future and where I want to go”
