Death And The King's Horseman
at Crucible Theatre, Sheffield
‘Life is honour. It ends when honour ends’
Set in Nigeria in the late 1940’s and based on a true story, Elesin, the king's horseman, is tasked with carrying out a sacred ritual upon the death of the king, however Elesin is overtaken by the allure of earthly desires.
A thought-provoking resonant theatrical experience showcasing music and dance, deeply rooted in the culture and spirituality of the Yoruba people.
Directed by Mojisola Kareem (Here’s What She Said to Me, Far Gone).
