Familiar with Zoonation productions, the presence of narrator (Tachia Newall) at the start of some like it Hip-Hop suggested that a fairytale might be ahead. but the tale spun was dark and not all folklore. In Governor Okeke’s world the sun has been blotted out, books have been banned and women have been sidelined. In their ivory towers men clock in to the room to work. When Jo-Jo Jameson (Lizzie Gough) and Kerri Kimbalaya (the brilliant Teneisha Bonner) sneak into the recreation room in the men’s quarters, the stakes are high as they attempt to hide in the testosterone-fuelled environment. In the speakeasy style den the cards are on the table, but the fun and games are only just beginning for the ladies, as they must launch into a farcical cat and mouse escapade.
