Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.This play highlights some of the consequences of UK visa restrictions on international students from sub-Saharan Africa; it also examines the ways in which these students respond to the challenges posed by immigration rules and the new culture. Eku, Abou, Priscilla and Ibrahim are university lecturers in their countries of origin who are currently pursuing postgraduate degrees in the UK. For Eku, the brutal and savage rebel war in his country (Sierra Leone) necessitates that he must bring his children to safety in the UK. However, he has neither the financial resources to obtain air tickets, nor the visas for his children without assistance. On the other hand, although Ibrahim has the means to acquire a UK visa and air ticket for Maama, his wife, the latter is too critically pregnant to be able to travel together with her husband. As a result, Maama s trip to the UK is postponed. One month after safely delivering their son, Maama and the child set off for the UK -to be reunited with her husband, Ibrahim. While on transit in a North African country, their journey is aborted because the child has no visa to be allowed entry into the UK! Although Priscilla encounters no difficulties in her visa application for her husband, Kisa, the change of the husband s role in the new culture from breadwinner to housekeeper proves to be a humbling experience, particularly for Uche who is fresh from Africa.
