Press clippings

Adapted from Bola Agbaje's play, Destiny Ekaragha's low-budget south London-set debut is a lively, likable treat. Malachi Kirby is Peckham lad Yemi, who is greatly put out by the arrival of his charismatic big brother Iku (OC Ukeje) from Nigeria. Sibling rivalry merges with broader societal divisions in a funny, perceptive comedy.
