This powerful allegory of brotherhood, vengeance and destiny was crafted into a fast-paced two-hander by award-winning playwright Gbolahan Obisesan. The Nigerian British director, actor and writer was made the Young Vic Genesis Fellow and Associate Director in 2015. His work has won a Jerwood Directors Award and a Fringe First for best play.

Great actors. Having read the book helped immensely.
A successful rendition of The Fishermem! Inspiring, haunting, and laugh out loud funny! I have never been more proud of two young men and the message they have chosen to spread in London !
Wonderful performance by two very talented actors. Really enjoyed the play.
Excellent, thought-provoking, dramatically staged production. A very enjoyable evening.
The story was very powerful and stirred up strong feelings in me family life. The language was beautifully crafted. The 2 actors were superb.
Fantastic actors, beautifully directed play, very good storyline. Took me back home to Nigeria for sure. You could see these actors had done their homework; they effortlessly transported me as an audience member, into the atmosphere they were setting. At no point was lost in the time zones they were creating either. My only thing is, and this isn't the fault of anybody in particular, I'd have loved to see it in a bigger stage - due to the amount of action, I'd have loved a little bit more space between myself and the actors as I felt I was in the way a couple of times when they were running past me. That doesn't take away from the fantastic play that this is though.
Incredible skills displayed by the actors and amazing story ! I wish it was running for longer. I highly recommend it !!!
Absolutely amazing show! I was blown away!
An exceptionally well executed show! Brilliant actors that really made the audience feel every single emotion of the play! The storyline was a bit of a hard pill to swallow when it became very serious but that just shows what kind of impact the actors had! Absolutely wonderful!
I thought strong performances by both actors and thoroughly enjoyed the range of emotions and introspection it evoked! Well done!
This was an incredibly powerful show. The performance of the two actors filled the venue and populated it with many colourful characters. There was a great deal of humour among moments of intense drama and sadness. Many images from this production will stay with me for a long time.
Fantastic performances and brilliantly crafted two hander
