Story
New York City, 1981: after a shocking public meltdown, post-punk singer King Nigel fights to maintain her sense of identity as her psychiatric captors determine whether or not she is fit to re-enter public life.
Response
to the ‘King Nigel’ musical workshop in 2022
“Captivating - unapologetically stylish, singular, & raw. Recommended for fans of VELVET GOLDMINE and ANNETTE.”

“Gripping from start to finish.”
“The first time I heard ‘What Does it Mean?’ it brought me to tears.”
“Congratulations, Team King Nigel, on this triumphant piece of performance art. Bravo, Satu.”
