Somewhere Between

Somewhere Between is the debut spoken-word theatre by Abu B. Yillah, exploring the life and times of a 3rd Culture kid who grows up to become an adult stuck between national identities, personalities and masculinity.

Born a poet in Sierra Leone and raised somewhere between Black-British and Sierra Leonean cultures, Abu has grown up to become a Lover-Boy (some may argue ‘Player’) whose loose morals pits him in constant battle with his wholesome upbringing and innate good values.
Faced with the biggest decision of his life, Abu must decide whether his legacy will be that of a boring old regular Good Dad or... THE BEST Deadbeat Dad EVER.
