A young Jamaican migrant rises to become the UK's first Black female Prime Minister — but the weight of being first takes its toll. Hoodminister follows Sydalia Walker's journey from new arrival to 10 Downing Street, where past struggles resurface and faith becomes her anchor. Told through physicality, song and dance, it builds to her boldest decision yet.
Debuted at Canada Water Theatre as part of Peckham Fringe 2025 on Thursday 1st & Friday 2nd May.

The production that started it all.
Before I Fall was a verbatim piece based on the experiences and views of mental health within the Black community by K’NALL Theatre, the history making company that Beloved was born from.Five strangers board a tube carriage on their daily commute, unaware of the invisible threads that bind them. A physical theatre verbatim piece, Before I Fall is a powerful reminder that in your darkest moments, you are never truly alone. There is always someone ready to catch you before you fall.
Debuted as part of Goldsmiths Degree Show, Tap Out Festival 2019, on 16th & 17th May 2019.
