Famed for her portrayal of bisexual coke snorting Liberty Baker on Footballers Wives which won her a Screen Nations Award, Phina's latest challenge is nine characters: black, white, old, young, male, female; all of whom are having their own identity crises. Identity Crisis explores identity struggles that are common to all of us. This hilariously funny show examines Phina's own observations on what others have made of her identity and blacks in the media. Very timely as headline news as the UK struggles with its identity and the USA has massive racial divisions.

Phina Oruche: Identity Crisis

I had to write this show. I really had to.The current racial climate terrifies me as a mum raising my beautiful black boy. People love him now when he's cute and eight, but at 18 will they be afraid? Might they kill him? Perhaps a US law officer with a gun or another British boy with a knife, who shares his skin colour but not his postcode.
