Sergei Sarakhanov, Spencer Hewett Lauryn Ajufo, the British actress who landed a British Independent Film Award nomination for “Boiling Point,” is set to step into the role that first launched Michaela Coel‘s career in an upcoming revival of Coel’s landmark semi-autobiographical one-woman debut play.
“Chewing Gum Dreams,” originally developed by Coel as her final-year show at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, was first performed publicly in 2012 at London’s The Yard Theatre before being transferred to The Shed at the National Theatre in 2014. It would eventually form the basis of Coel’s TV breakthrough “Chewing Gum.”
