Second Thoughts Stage Play Showing in the UK This May

Instinct Pictures is bringing Second Thoughts stage play to audiences in the United Kingdom this May with a moving stage production that explores ambition, migration, identity, and the emotional realities of starting over abroad.

The one-man play follows Clement Achebe, who leaves behind a comfortable life in Lagos in search of greater opportunities overseas, only to confront the pressures, sacrifices, and difficult truths that accompany migration.

Blending humour, vulnerability, music, and reflective storytelling, the production moves between memory and present reality as Clement wrestles with the choices that shaped his journey and the life he left behind.

The production stars Chris Iheuwa alongside Olabamibowale Oguntoyinbo and Gloria Isioma Egbe as singer. It is produced by Grace Idowu, with Emmanuel Okocha serving as executive producer.
