Gay investigative journalist Babs has come to visit his lesbian best friend Regi in Lewisham. With mounting pressures back in Nigeria, Babs and Regi hatch a plan to get married. They hope this ‘cover’ will stop the threatening rumours and allow Babs to safely expose the inhumane treatment of LGBTQIA+ people in Nigeria.
But the storms are gathering back home. As the wedding approaches, Regi and Babs must choose what they care about the most.

Based on and incorporating ‘The World’s Wife’ by Carol Ann Duffy, this one-woman play journeys through history and mythology from the obscured, female perspective. Including poetry, physical theatre, puppetry and verbatim, this is an exploration of womanhood through the ages.
After all, behind every great man…
"WIFE takes an already tantalisingly creative anthology of poetry to a new level of imagination."
