The Hot Wing King by Katori Hall
Every kang deserves a crown Things are heating up in Memphis as the annual Hot Wing Festival rolls into town. With their sights set on the crown, Cordell, his partner Dwayne and friends Isom and Big Charles team up again as the New Wing Order, with a new attitude and a mouth-watering new wing recipe.

Full of laughter, song and healing, Katori Hall’s Pulitzer Prize-winning comedy makes its London debut in a fiery new production at the National Theatre.
