In 1979 Nigeria, a good man’s sudden death in a hunting accident leaves his widow in a mourning chair. Their daughter, Adaku, seeks to bring honor to her community like her great hunter-father, but soon discovers the unwritten rules that govern her destiny as a woman, and even more so, as an Igbo woman.

Please be advised this production includes haze, discussions of grief, death, and violence, and the use of a gun on stage.
