For the first two Sundays in February (starting this Sunday, February 1st) get ready to be thrilled by this interesting, hilarious and mind gripping theatre production starring some of the very best thespians in the industry.
A left wing academic, his former student (now lover & fellow Leftist), and his long-time friend (now capitalist protagonist).
Under siege of dogs, armed police and imminent insecurities, introspection reveals double standards of dissected personalities who project genuine freedom yet seek monolithic ideological lifestyles.
These characters even manage to lace their "ORIKI" (song) with hilarious hard humor.

The play presents a milieu of Politicians, Thespians, lecturers, businessmen,Students, Civil servants, Police and indeed a rich society with dreams of hope;of slums yielding place to skyscrapers, of forests shaping into radiant cities,with schools, hospitals, factories, fertile farmlands and love for fellow humans.
But dreams die first from the perspective of three Nigerians under a very tense atmosphere of typical West African politics.
