KINGS…come home is a journey that explores the trials of migration. A family sets out in search of safety, prosperity and a place to call home. Their hopes seem to materialize when they find a house in the middle of a field—but as they settle in, the walls begin to shift, and their utopia slowly crumbles.

Presented in English, with moments of languages from throughout the diaspora (Papiamentu, Tigrinya, Sranantongo, Kikongo, Kimbundu, Lingala, Portuguese and Dutch), KINGS…come home reveals the lasting effects of displacement and the forces—both visible and unseen—that drive it. From the impacts of climate change to the scars of war, colonialism and systemic injustice, the play raises an important question: How does the endless cycle of uprooting shape the search for belonging and identity?

A co-production of National Black Theatre with Kip Republic, in association with The Apollo & New York Theatre Workshop.
