About the Show

A new play from Mufaro Makubika exploring identity and heritage via a mother and her daughter.

She decides to move her family from Nottingham to Zimbabwe in a bid to nurture the faltering mother/daughter relationship and to foster a relationship between her daughter and her native land.
