Once Upon a Time in Sokoto – Bristol Old Vic

“There are powers that bind the world together,
softer than spirits yet stronger than stone,
that tie the river to the tree, the tree to rain clouds,
rain clouds to the land, and people to each other.”

Once Upon a Time in Sokoto tells the story of a beautiful but unlikely friendship forged between a slave and her former master. Differences in faith, culture and heritage are overcome in the face of new enemies, in a gripping family drama set against the backdrop of events leading to the creation of Nigeria.
