Divina de Campo is returning to the London stage in the musical Amanda – The Night Before Me.

The show is a solo musical, exploring gender identity and inner courage, while celebrating the beauty of becoming who you are meant to be.

Set moments before a life-changing surgery is due to rewrite her body and future, the audience joins Amanda on her journey as she prepares to step fully into her authentic self. 

The protagonist finds herself reliving her entire life in a powerful musical monologue as she undergoes gender-affirming surgery. This blaze of memories sees hidden dreams, forbidden love and hard-won freedom unfold with heartbreak and unflinching honesty. 

Originally written and composed in German by Rory Six, the production is based on his conversations with a trans friend, capturing the turbulence and complexity of identity.

This English version has been adapted by Charles Hart.

"Amanda is a story that dares you to live authentically..." says Rory Six. "At its heart, it’s about the courage to be true to yourself, the simple power of ‘love is love,’ and the fundamental right of every person to exist without apology. That’s why I hope people watch it — because in a world that constantly pressures us to conform, this show is a reminder that your truth is worth celebrating."

The performance requires Divina to embody fourteen characters through the monologue - mothers, lovers, friends, and the inner voices that have shaped Amanda.

"For me this is such an important piece for Rory to bring to the UK right now..." explains Divina. "The UK has slipped down the the index of LGBT rights from the top to 22nd and a lot of that has to do with the hostile environment towards trans people. This is a hopeful, honest and beautiful story of self discovery and acceptance. I’m so excited to be able to tackle this wonderful piece."

[*Amanda – The Night Before Me will run at The Bridge House Theatre from 22 September until 10 October.*](https://www.ticketsource.com/the-bridge-house-theatre/amanda-the-night-before-me/e-grldrx?ref=gtv.blue)
