Pandora's Box by Ade Solanke at Arcola Tent

Pandora's Box, by Ade Solanke, at the Arcola Tent, a temporary pop-up venue at the Arcola Theatre, in east London, from 9 to 26 May 2012.

Directed by Ola Animashawun, and produced by Spora Stories & The Jon Harris Partnership.

On holiday with her streetwise son in Lagos, a British-Nigerian mother is in turmoil. Should she leave her only child in a strict Lagos boarding school, or return him to the battlefields of inner London? A family spanning three generations and two continents meet in Lagos for the first time in over thirty years. But the joy of reunion unleashes long-suppressed truths.
