Iya-Ile

Dates: 14.5.2009 to 20.6.2009. It's 1989 in Lagos. Political hysteria and social change are sweeping Nigeria. Chief Adeyemi's wife Toyin is turning 40 and, behind the mansion walls, the household is preparing for her party. But there are other distractions. Their troublesome sons, returning from college, are more interested in seduction and starting revolutions than their parents' disintegrating marriage. Meanwhile Helen, the ambitious house girl, is waiting for her chance. An unmissable theatrical party, y-Il is the long-awaited prequel to the hugely successful The Estate, which is currently being adapted for film. A vibrant mix of comedy, political satire and family intrigue, Iya-Ile is packed with witty dialogue and the wonderful music of Fela Anikulapo Kuti, Sunny Ade and Ebenezer Obey. Oladipo Agboluaje's most recent plays includ The Christ of Coldharbour Lane and the five-star hit I. Tiata Fahodzi were last at Soho Theatre in 2007 with the sell-out hit Joe Guy.
