The Swamp Dwellers

Written by Wole Soyinka and directed by Utopia Theatres’ Mojisola Kareem (Crown of Blood, Death and The King’s Horseman, Here’s What She Said To Me, All Our Goals), The Swamp Dwellers will run at Utopia Theatre from 29 June to 11 July 2026.

The land is disappearing.

A community stands on the edge. Flooded ground. Failed harvest. No way forward, no way back. The promise of the city lingers —but at what cost?

This is a story of survival in a landscape pushed beyond its limits. Of families waiting. Of choices that cannot be undone.

In a world facing a climate crisis, this story hits differently.

Not everything lost can be reclaimed.
