Atlantic Theater Company celebrated the opening of Ngozi Anyanwu’s The Homecoming Queen January 22.
Mfoniso Udofia (Sojourners and Her Portmanteau) stars as a novelist returning to Nigeria to care for her father. Having been absent for over a decade, the trip forces her to confront a painful past, her culture, and a deep, unexpected love.
The Off-Broadway production began performances January 10 in Atlantic Theater’s Stage 2. Awoye Timpo, associate director of Broadway’s Tony Award-winning revival of Jitney, directs.
