In Hiding

We are your problem…we go do beta next time…

Maternal love battles with Nigerian high society tradition in this touching and often hilarious new drama.

Excitement and joy usually surround a Nigerian “Owambe” party: the see-and-be-seen power networking opportunity for status climbers. Like Bimpe DaCosta of Lagos high society. But the realities of being a single mum raising an autistic child prove to be discordant dance steps for Bimpe, whose experience of motherhood is at war with tradition. 

In turns funny and moving, and always insightful, In Hiding weaves universally relatable themes of social identity and motherhood, exposing a world in love with status – real or imagined.

The Tower Theatre Company is proud to be producing this exuberant new play by Hackney born and raised British Nigerian writer, Adenike Ojo. A heartfelt appeal to the land of her ancestors, this is a plate of “jollof rice” you should certainly not miss out on!

Directed by Kanayo Ono
