Review: NOT YOUR SUPERWOMAN, Bush Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - Sep 13, 2025
Not Your Superwoman has already sold out its entire run, which is pretty unusual for an Off West End play. It’s less surprising, however, when you consider the combined star power of actors Golda Rosheuvel and Letitia Wright, and outgoing Bush Artistic Director Lynette Linton. In this play, co-created by Linton and writer Emma Dennis-Edwards, it’s easy to see how each of them have risen to fame – and how richly their success is deserved
