Rosetta

For the first time in 40 years, the artist is treading the boards in Wolverhampton this week for a production of Marie & Rosetta.

The work features music celebrating the legacy of gospel and blues singer Rosetta Tharpe in the development of rock 'n' roll.

Knight, widely regarded as one of Britain's greatest soul singers, has said to be cast as Sister Rosetta in this week's production was a "great honour".

Marie & Rosetta tells the story of Tharpe and her protege, Marie Knight, played by Ntombizodwa Ndlovu.

If I was looking at 2025’s Rosetta Stone, after all, it was not likely to be highly melanated.
