Election lost, speeches made and controversy stirred, Kayode - a British MP and self-made man - is hiding. Escaping the political heat in London he flees to Nigeria. But once there, he gets caught up in a whole new power game.

Former Peckham resident, Bola Agbaje's satirical new play questions our notion of home.
