Introduction

I've given up on fighting for change. That's a strange, imperfect illusion that allowed confusion to reign in my life. I took a knife to its neck and sliced it open.

The Encounter

When a passionate activist, Wunmi, is invited into a middle-class Black family's home, a fire is lit. The family members have always seen themselves as pillars of society: they are charity workers, therapists, and politicians.

The Revelation

But as they begin to realize what Wunmi really represents, their certainty begins to crumble, the tension rises, and a suffocating ash starts to fill the air.

About the Play

Full of forensic fury and incandescent poetry, Dipo Baruwa-Etti's fiercely political new play opened at the Almeida Theatre, London, in September 2022.
