KINGS...come home tells the story of a family in search of a new home. After leaving their original home, they embark on a journey to find prosperity, opportunity and safety. They discover a house in the middle of a field, move in and create their utopia—until the walls begin to shift, and the house gradually falls apart. As their journey continues, we witness the enduring effects of their constant displacement and how it reshapes their reality.

KINGS...come home delves into the echoes of migration, born from a myriad of social and economic trials. It traces the deep-seated ties between migration and the enduring shadows of our colonial past. Whether spurred by climate change, the fires of war or the weight of institutional racism, it is the unseen barriers that guide both their departure as well as their arrival. The play raises a crucial question: "How does the sustained experience of displacement and uprooting shape the search for a true home for both individuals and families?"

A co-production of National Black Theatre with Kip Republic.
