Tiata Fahozi presents THE ESTATE by Oladipo Agboluaje
6th - 17th June at the Soho Theatre

A powerful yet comic tale of explosive family secrets and the dead hand of a corrupt patriarchy.

An accurate and meaningful reflection of class, gender and family relationships in an affluent Lagos household.

Inspired by Chekhov but set in contemporary Lagos, Nigeria, Chief (Mrs) Adeyemi is engulfed in burial arrangements for her recently deceased husband, an influential entrepreneur with an extended family scattered across the globe. His children arrive from abroad to hear their father’s Will. As they divide his estate an unnatural turn of events takes place and sparks begin to fly.

This is an extremely enjoyable play and an asset to African theatre.

Directed by Femi Elufowoju, jr the exceptional cast includes: Ellen Thomas (from The Lenny Henry Show, Channel 4’s Teachers and the recently released Basic Instinct 2), Ayo-Dele Ajana, Kwaku Ankomah, Yvonne Dodoo, Wale 0jo, Nick Oshikanlu and Richard Pepple.
