Powerful allegory of family, vengeance and fate features electrifying performances
Chigozie Obioma
The Fishermen, four brothers go fishing in a local river.
There they encounter a local madman, Abula, who predicts that the oldest brother will be killed by one of his fellow fishermen.
The curse sets the brothers on an inexorable course and unleashes a chain of events that tears apart their family with tragic consequences.
In 2018, New Perspectives, in association with HOME, presented this powerful allegory of brotherhood, vengeance and fate, in a stage adaptation by award-winning playwright Gbolahan Obisesan. Now the original cast has reunited with director Jack McNamara to reimagine this lyrical family saga for radio.
