Belong is an original Tiata Fahodzi commission from Bola Agbaje, an award-winning rising star of UK new writing.

‘Supporters keh. Forget this country. How many year have you lived here?… Your English is better than the Queen’s and they still call you…’

Election lost, speeches made and controversy stirred – Kayode’s hiding. He’s not even answering the door to the cleaner, and Rita is not going to start getting out the Hoover in her designer heels. Escaping the political heat in London, he flees to Nigeria – a British MP and a self-made man. Once there, he gets caught up in a whole new power game.

Bola Agbaje’s new play questions our notion of home.
