Description

Owerri, 1967. On the brink of the Biafran Civil War, three sisters are struggling to come to terms with their father's loss. Months earlier, two ruthless military coups had plunged Nigeria into chaos, and the conflict is now encroaching on their provincial village. Chekhov's iconic characters have been relocated to a new setting, but the emotions and tensions remain the same. In this bold adaptation, Inua Ellams brings Chekhov's classic play to life in a heart-wrenching retelling that explores the complexities of family, grief, and identity. Following his successful Barber Shop Chronicles, Ellams returns to the National Theatre with this powerful new work, which is sure to resonate with audiences.
