Description

A comedic stage play about polygamy and cultural diversity. While on tour in London, a Nigerian musician - Ichela has an affair with a British girl, Mavis. Mavis falls in love with the charming Ichela. The two remain in touch after Ichela returns to Nigeria. Back home in Nigeria, Ichela starts a relationship with a Nigerian nurse - Ineba. Ineba falls in love with Ichela. Both Ineba and Mavis want to marry Ichela. He agrees to marry them both. The stage is set for a Shakespearean comedy of errors.
