An immersive one-woman play in which your smartphone becomes part of the show. Written by Bunmi Aworanti, directed by Estelle Uba and performed by Samantha Kanu, it is produced and presented by Mudhut IO as part of the Voila! Theatre Festival. It follows Kike, a woman in her mid-20s navigating modern dating and family expectations while her mum prays hard for a husband to appear. The audience makes decisions about her love life, spots red flags and competes in games, exploring romantic love, family approval and cultural expectations.
