When not playing Lady Danbury, in the huge Netflix series Bridgerton, Adjoa is a renowned stage actor. Celebrated for her performances with the Royal Shakespeare Company, The National Theatre, and The Globe. Where, in 2019, she played Richard II, in the UK's first all-women-of-colour production.

Adjoa has now turned her attention to Shakespeare’s Richard III. She directs and takes the lead role, inviting the audience to think about what happens to a person - and their sense of self - when bad intentions are ascribed to them, based solely on their appearance.

She passionately believes in the power of storytelling. For Adjoa, theatre and drama can be transformational - helping to shape our perspectives and, she hopes, make us feel empathy...even for someone with a reputation like Shakespeare's Richard III.
