Details

Two districts, one province. Two kingdoms, one crown. Two allegiances, one throne. Inspired by William Shakespeare's Macbeth, Makinde is the story of a young British graduate of West African descent who, on the eve of his honeymoon, is summoned from England to Nigeria by a Royal emissary. Absolute power, tyranny, corruption, ambition and revenge override honourable intentions and a clash between West African tradition and British mythology ensues.
