Details

Inspired by the true stories of Ralph Ojotu. Eric Adegeye has always kept moving, and relies on no man. In Lagos he runs smuggling missions in his dirty yellow bus. His restlessness drives him to England, where he is ensnared in a depraved world of forced labour and bad loyalties. When he falls in love with Sarah, can they both break free from the underworld? And then can he stand still long enough to find out who he really is? Only Connect is a creative arts company and crime prevention charity for prisoners, ex-offenders and at-risk youth. The play is performed by ex-offenders, with convictions ranging from firearms to drugs offences, and at-risk youth. Age 12+.
