In the wake of the sudden death of their eldest son and brother, Ife, one family is forced to confront the traumas they have long tried to bury. As the sun beats down on their North London flat, and the authoritarian head of the family arrives from Ethiopia for the funeral, tensions rise, cultures clash and past betrayals are unearthed.
RADA Acting Tutor and BIFA-nominated director Beru Tessema wrote House of Ife and directs the play, a tense, simmering story about belonging, identity, and community.
