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.
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. But as they begin to realise what Wunmi really represents, their certainty begins to crumble, the tension rises and a suffocating ash starts to fill the air.
Full of forensic fury and incandescent poetry, Dipo Baruwa-Etti's fiercely political new play opened at the Almeida Theatre, London, in September 2022.
