The true story of the woman who became Rwanda’s head of state for less than a day.

A stunning script. I had never before heard of Agathe. Now I will never forget her.’ (Stephen Tobolowsky)

A plane crash takes the life of an African president and ignites a killing spree that the world will later recognize as the 1994 genocide against Tutsi people in Rwanda.

The person who was next in line for the country’s presidency — and who was, in fact, the country’s head of state for less than a day — was Agathe Uwilingiyimana, a Chemistry professor and an advocate for women and girls’ education.

A beacon for our times, Agathe’s silenced story and brave spirit is captured in this multi-award winning play.

Based on the novel by Amanda Brown and the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer motion picture, Legally Blonde follows Elle Woods as she journeys to Harvard Law School. With music and lyrics from Laurence O'Keefe and Nell Benjamin and book by Heather Bach, the show is vibrant, joyous and heart-warming.

With direction from Tracy Collier, choreography by May Tether and Musical Direction from Greg Arrowsmith and performances from Associated Studios final year students, Legally Blonde is set to take you on a fabulous journey.
