Love vs Fear and My Mother's Prayers

Produced and presented by Mudhut IO

Everyone knows a Kike.

Some of us are Kike.

Kike is in her mid-20s, navigating modern dating, family expectations and the growing suspicion that everyone around her is getting married except her.

And then there’s her mum, who is praying VERY hard for a husband to appear.

But this isn’t a love story you simply sit back and watch.

Blending theatre, storytelling, games and digital audience interaction, Love vs Fear (...and My Mother’s Prayers) plays with the form of the traditional one-woman show.

YOUR PHONE BECOMES PART OF THE SHOW.

Step inside Kike’s world. Make decisions about her love life. Spot the red flags. Compete in games. And ask yourself the most dangerous question of all...

What would YOU do in her shoes?

Funny, intimate and sometimes painfully familiar, Love vs Fear explores the space between what we want and what we’re told we should want: romantic love, family approval, cultural expectations and the fear of being left behind.

Rooted in a British-Nigerian experience but asking questions that cross cultures, this is a shared theatrical experience where the audience isn’t just watching Kike make questionable decisions...

You’re part of them.
