Scheduled to run in February 2026, at Tower Theatre, Stoke Newington, London, 'That Four Letter Word' is a new theatrical initiative which aims to champion a diverse range of black female, trans and non-binary voices and tell entertaining and provocative stories about love in all its different guises, whether it be filial love, romantic love, platonic love and so on…
