Coming to STRATFEST@HOME on February 9: Death and the King's Horseman.

In British-occupied Nigeria, the king is dead, and it is the duty of his horseman, Elesin (Anthony Santiago), to accompany him into the afterlife. While lustily enjoying the pleasures of this world, Elesin proudly anticipates his transition to the next—but the sacred ritual is interrupted. A night of devastating tragedy unfolds and another sacrifice is made.

Director Tawiah M’Carthy expertly brings this masterpiece from Nobel Prize winner Wole Soyinka to the Tom Patterson stage, culminating in a haunting and potent tale and a must-see theatrical event.

Death and the King's Horseman is available on STRATFEST@HOME ✨
