Owerri, Nigeria, 1967, on the brink of the Biafran Civil War.
Sisters Lolo, Nne Chukwu and Udo are grieving the loss of their father. Months before, two ruthless military coups plunged the country into chaos. Fuelled by foreign intervention, the conflict encroaches on their provincial village, and the sisters long to return to their former home in Lagos.
This Student Edition of Inua Ellams's adaptation looks at how Anton Chekhov's original play has been transposed to an African context, the background to the Biafran War and how its politics and people's experiences are represented in the play.
