Unstable sets the cultural splendour of a fictional Benin Kingdom and tells the story of a powerful King who rescues an outcast from a bloodthirsty mob.

"Unstable," written by Dickson Ekhaguere, goes to the theatre.

Since winning the 2015 Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) award, the book “Unstable” has gained much-needed recognition in the literary sphere. It is now set to be staged on Saturday, June 24, 2017, at the Prestigious Muson Centre and features the multi award-winning director Ben Tomoloju, and an intimidating array of iconic thespians, including Tina Mba, Ropo Ewenla, Bassey Okon, Segun Dada, Olu Okekanye and Inna Erizia.

This award-winning play, set in the cultural splendour of a fictional Benin Kingdom, tells the story of a powerful King (King Ido) who rescues an outcast, (Esewi) from a bloodthirsty mob. Her beauty gradually draws him to her and his unbridled love for her despite her multiple indiscretions eventually becomes his nemesis. Esewi’s dangerous liaisons, inevitably bring King Ido in direct conflict with a powerful rival King (Ediae) and leads to a series of tumultuous events, capable of plunging his Kingdom into chaos.

Unstable is a classic story of the power of redemptive love, forgiveness, treachery and the fallible nature of the human mind. This is a classic African story that would leave you spellbound, melt your heart♥ and intrigue your senses......

Unstable represents a major "Paradigm shift" in the theory of the "Alpha male"
