Link to the highlight of the production

Death and the King’s Horseman is a powerful theatrical tragedy exploring duty, honour, and the clash between tradition and colonial authority. Set in colonial Nigeria, the play follows Elesin, the King’s Horseman, whose ritual obligation to die and accompany his king to the afterlife is disrupted by British interference—unleashing profound consequences for his community and culture.
