An exciting debut solo show from writer, performer and rising talent Racheal Ofori Inspired by her own experiences.
Supported by Arts Council England and the Royal Victoria Hall Foundation.
This is an exploration. I want to tell a story – well, my family’s story. Some of it may be true and some may not. There was a song my mom used to sing to me, which her father sang to her. It may have been Irish (that’s where he came from) or even American (that’s where I come from). Or possibly Scottish (weird, because none of us are from Scotland).
Using poetry and live folk music, this show is for anyone who has ever tried to untangle a family anecdote, or wished they knew more about where they came from.
