Lil.Miss.Lady is a grime-theater production created by Dominic Garfield and starring BBTA-winning grime MC and performer Lady Lykez, who also wrote the show’s original lyrics. With live DJ sets and track mixes by Kaylee Kay that pair perfectly with the storyline, the show unfolds in a standing venue where the audience is placed right at the centre. Set across multiple raised platforms, the production surrounds the crowd, shifting between recording studios, freestyle battles, and intimate confessional scenes. You move with the story through every moment, standing inside the chaos of a music video shoot and cheering Lykez on as she embodies a 15-year-old MC fighting to be heard in a male-dominated scene. Based on interviews with key women in UK bass culture, including Lady Stush, Queenie, and Baby Blue, the show revisits iconic genres like Jungle, UK Garage, Sub-Low, Funky House, Dubstep, and Grime while spotlighting the female voices too often left out of their histories.
Storyline
Lil.Miss.Lady, the show’s young protagonist, is a 15-year-old MC raised on grime’s raw energy. She watches the boys take the mic, dominate the stage, and set the tone. She knows the rhythm, knows the sound, but the spotlight rarely lands on her. This is her story, a young Black woman finding her voice in a culture that shaped her but didn’t always make space for her. From schoolyard clashes to packed house parties, her voice grows stronger each moment. As the bass builds and the crowd watches, she stands on the edge of something bigger. But can she break through?
