With joyful hearts, we invite you to our opening night.

It began backstage at a Christmas production in 2022: one of us missed a cue, the other whispered the line from the wings. Five years later we are walking out together, and we would love you in the front row.

In their own words

Ifunanya, fictional sample portrait

Ifunanya

Her side

He walked on stage four seconds late, looked straight at the wings and mouthed "help." I have been helping ever since.

Seun, fictional sample portrait

Seun

His side

I like to say I missed the cue on purpose. I did not. But I would miss it again a hundred times to hear her whisper my line.

The journey

  1. The missed cue

    A church Christmas production in Surulere. She was stage manager; he was the innkeeper who forgot his entrance.

  2. Suya after rehearsals

    The cast went home. The two of them stayed for "one more" stick of suya and talked until the vendor packed up.

  3. Meeting the families

    Jollof in Enugu, amala in Ibadan, and two mothers who became friends before the couple could finish the introductions.

  4. The proposal

    After the final show of the season he asked for the lights, knelt centre stage and, for once, remembered every line.

  5. Opening night

    The wedding. You are on the guest list.

Song on repeat?
