Theatre Trip - Kubulaya : Away from home
Details
Hi there - everyone is welcome but please only RSVP if you plan to come and meet me / others in the group (this is so I know numbers and we know who we're looking out for).
Just to let you know - that I will meet people c. 20-30 mins before the show and during any intervals so we can chat and not alone, but generally I have to head off straight after, sorry. Others are welcome to re-group / go for a drink afterwards.
Now the boring bit is out of the way - some more info about the show.
I have a stage level ticket, seating is unreserved. Show is c 1hr 30 (incl interval). See web link for pricing options.
If you fancy the sound of the show (below) then grab a seat and meet us on the night.
Kubulaya: Away From Home | Sheffield Theatres
Meet Ntanda, the last born, it’s her birthday, she’s seventeen, and only wants to celebrate with the family. Meet Vera, a nurse, a mother and wife, she has had to give up a double-paid shift to be at her daughter’s birthday. Then there is Nelson, the husband, the father, once a successful businessman in Lusaka, now a care worker in Sheffield, navigating a life far removed from the one he built. And finally, Mulenga, a son and Engineer, the one who moved to the UK as a teenager and found his way through the system.
Like flies on the wall, we bear witness to one fateful night. A night that begins with a startling announcement and ends with truths that will unravel everything the family thought they knew.
Kubulaya - Away From Home is a bold new play examining the high rate of separation among sub-Saharan African couples who migrate to the UK. Infused with Zambian folk music and a blend of African and Western storytelling traditions, it delves into how culture, finance, and faith intersect to test the bonds of family and love
