“Refilwe, Refilwe let down your locks . . . So I can climb the scraggy rocks!”

Choreographer, performance poet and stand-up comedian Sheba Montserrat reads Refilwe, Zukiswa Wanner’s retelling of the classic fairy tale Rapunzel, for children aged 5 and upwards. In Wanner’s version, which relocates the story to southern Africa, Refilwe is a dreadlocked young woman stuck in a cave atop a mountain awaiting her handsome prince. But with adversity and obstacles in their way, will they live happy ever after?ABOUT THE TOTTENHAM LITERATURE FESTIVALThe <a href="https://www.berniegrantcentre.co.uk/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Bernie Grant Arts Centre</a>’s Tottenham Literature Festival returns from Monday 29th November until Sunday 5th December. Our joyous festival of words is bolder and bigger than ever - and this year welcomes the Booker Prize-winning Bernardine Evaristo, the first Black woman ever to win literature’s most prestigious prize. This year’s festival, which has both in-person and online events, focuses on the theme of Black ‘revolutionary love’ – love of self, love of community, and romantic love – and the power of that love to heal, inspire and transform. Because in a hostile world, the act of loving one another and ourselves can be radical and transformative. Featuring Bernardine Evaristo, Yomi Sode, Malika Booker, Kareem Parkins-Brown, Janett Plummer, A Quick Ting On authors, Julianknxx, Lola Olufemi, Nana Darkoa Sekyiamah, Sheba Montserrat, Jessica Horn, Laurence Sessou, Alexandrina Hemsley, Veronica Mckenzie, Muti Masafiri, Village 101, Hear Me Out, Miss Jacqui, Theresa Lola, Nick Makoha and others.
