On the Niger Delta a family waits in their home above the swamps.
One son returns. The other feared lost.
And a disappearing world hangs in the balance.

Don’t miss our powerful new production of The Swamp Dwellers by Nobel Prize-winning playwright Wole Soyinka.

Set in a community caught between ancient traditions and the false promises of the city, this gripping drama explores family, survival, migration, and the growing climate crisis.
