About The Sisters

The play is about three sisters ( Funmi, Taiwo and Toun) who took to their various lives after the death of the ambassador (their father). Soon, Funmi's husband who was also the president dies and she decides to have a little reunion with her sisters after a long time of being apart. The event turned out to be a battle with bitter truth, painful reality and a shocking revelation in their father's will which brought to bear the existence of a fourth sister. - Vinaag Gold-Star Theatre
