The play follows the story of Obi, a young writer who dreams of leaving the estate in which he lives. Told through rich, witty and lyrical street language, the story focuses on the young artist's conflict between his ambitions and his friends, who are planning a heist in which Obi refuses to take part. Meanwhile, his love for a forbidden girl adds to the complexity of his life, making him soon to land into a whole world of problems. The play appears as part of the theatre’s OMO London festival, a three-week festival of work marking the 50th anniversary of Nigerian Independence, celebrating the growing influence of Nigerian playwrights on British theatre and new-writing culture.
