The Bush Theatre has revealed casting for its forthcoming new play My Father’s Fable.
Written by Alfred Fagon Award winner Faith Omole, who recently starred in Standing at the Sky’s Edge at the National Theatre, My Father’s Fable is directed by Rebekah Murrell (J’ouvert, West End).
Billed as a gripping story of grief, belonging and a family on the edge, My Father’s Fable will star Gabriel Akuwudike (Hamnet, King Lear, Game of Thrones), BAFTA-winner Rakie Ayola (No Offence, Anthony, The Pact), and Tiwa Lade (Tell Me Everything, Great Expectations).
In the play, Peace didn’t know what she needed when her father died. Then she found Bolu, her half-brother from Nigeria she didn’t know existed. Filled with grief and a thousand questions, his arrival feels like something clicking into place. Despite her mother’s concerns and encouraged by her partner, Peace invites Bolu to England.
But questions about this stranger’s intentions and his mysterious past hang heavy in the air. Desperate to keep her fractured family – and herself – together, Peace must face the fact that the answers she desperately seeks might just lead to everything falling apart.
The play is part of the Bush Theatre’s new 2024 to 2025 season, which was announced today.
My Father’s Fable is playing in the Bush Theatre’s main space from 15 June to 27 July 2024.
