Boi Boi Is Dead By Zodwa Nyoni

After a year as Channel 4 writer in residence at the Playhouse Zodwa Nyoni, a compelling new voice in the cultural landscape, presents her first full length play. Produced in collaboration with the UK's leading African theatre company Tiata Fahodzi and Watford Palace Theatre this brand new play, set in Zimbabwe is an arresting exploration of family bonds.

Musician, father, lover, playboy, husband, rule-breaker, enigmatic force of nature... Boi Boi is dead. But not forgotten. Left alone to rebuild her life, Miriam's heartache is interrupted when Boi Boi’s reckless ex-wife Stella and
traditionalistic brother show up to stake their claim on his name, on his property and to revel in the glory of his fame. Determined to keep her family together, Miriam's life is thrown into turmoil when Stella discovers the secret she shared only with Boi Boi.

With a new found power will the beguiling Stella be triumphant in the face of Boi Boi’s death?
