4 May 1969 and the battered body of a 38 year old man is pulled from the River Aire. An internal police inquiry will follow, revealing how he had been the victim of horrific, systematic police brutality.
Based on Kester Aspden's award winning book, Oladipo Agboluaje brings David Oluwale back to Leeds to tell his story, face to face with the Scotland Yard Detective charged with investigating the case. From the prayers of his Maa'mi in Lagos and the glitter of the Mecca Dance Hall to the vagrant shelters of a city that's trying to recreate itself, this is the story of one man searching for justice and another who just wanted to find home.
Now in its sixth year Eclipse has built an enviable reputation. Previous productions include adaptations of Mother Courage and Three Sisters and the world premieres of Roy Williams' Little Sweet Thing and Angel House
