The fate of Africa rests solely on the zeal and chivalry of eleven adventurous friends. Their ancestral ‘mother’ gives them seven days to prove to the rest of the world that their fabulous continent is worth celebrating and not burying.

Their journeys traverse 54 countries, countless boundaries, and endless risks. Lives, history, and destinies are rewritten forever.
 

54.60 Africa is an exhilarating, cross-cultural pan-African encounter, brought to life through word, live music, song, and dance.

It is inspired by the travels of its author who accomplished visiting every one of Africa’s then 54 nations, before his 60th birthday.

The ensemble features EastEnders’ Suzette Llewellyn, Munashe Chirisa (The Play that Goes Wrong), Ugan da’s popular music group The Ganda Boys, and several cast members from The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives, including Patrice Naiambana (Baba Segi).
