The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives is funny, bold, and moving. What sounds like a traditional setup — a wealthy Nigerian man with multiple wives — turns out to be a feminist, sharp, and modern story about sex, secrecy, and survival.
I saw the original 2018 production, which was full of energy, sparkle, and precision. This revival doesn’t quite reach those same heights, but the heart of the play is still strong. The story unfolds with wit and feeling, using physical theatre, Yoruba music, and classical storytelling to create something that’s rich with personality and alive with entertainment.
