Yemi Odunfa

The Archbishop is dead. His family prepares for a solemn memorial dinner, but chaos lurks beneath the surface of their pristine lives. His son, a pastor, desperately tries to suppress a scandalous blackmail, his teenage daughter goes into hiding, and his sensible daughter carries the weight of a big lie.

Their mother arrives in Lagos determined to set her family straight and protect her husband’s legacy, but quickly gets swept up in a madcap series of events that unfold.

The story explores, with lighthearted humor, the real lives of people dealing with grief while navigating the complex web of public faith and private lives.

Yemi Odunfa’s other hit play, ’What the Steward Saw, ’ has been produced by Baneo Theatre and staged at the Muson Centre, Lagos, and 444 Theater, Atlanta. He has also written plays for local community theaters and groups.
