What would you do if one day you woke up and you were Kanye West?
To most people it's a ludicrous question, but it sits at the heart of this new play from the author of the quirky hit Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons
Kanye the First imagines a scenario where the superstar rapper dies and returns to the world in the body of a 27-year-old, middle-class woman called Annie
Annie's not really a fan of herself
While her perfect sister poses in hipster hats, she has to take care of her sick mother
And she keeps mistaking hot men for her Dad
There must be more to life than this
But what if everyone thought she was someone else?
Someone different
Someone better
Confusion soon reigns for Annie, her family and the world at large
But she eventually comes to take advantage of the persona thrust upon her
