Two dynamic women, a mirror and a wrinkle in time – Nzingabeth is coming to The Brewhouse in Taunton later this month.

Tea with Ana and Virginia is a fictitious musical meeting between two real queens – the formidable Elizabeth I of England and the proud Ana Nzinga of Ndongo.

Elizabeth I fought off all suitors and repelled would-be invaders, proudly leading her country into a Golden Age. Ana Nzinga, a canny strategist and fierce warrior, rejected European imperial control, built an army of freed slaves and played Dutch and Portuguese colonialists off against each other.

Nzingabeth is being performed in the Brewhouse Studio Theatre on Friday and Saturday, February 17-18.
