One day he falls into a coma, is arrested for a crime he has not committed and is locked up in prison with a triple-lifer. Biyi Bandele's witty and engaging play is in a world in which fantasy may, troublingly, be more real than reality. Brixton Stories premiered at The Tricycle Theatre, London, 2001. Happy Birthday, Mister Deka D 'I went for a walk. I fought in a war. I took long rides on the tube. I met someone new. We had a child. She met someone new. The seasons changed. I changed with the seasons... That's why I'm here.' Relationships are as elusive as memory iself in this poetic and lyrical play. Happy Birthday Mister Deka D premiered at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in August 1999 and transferred to the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith. Praise for Happy Birthday, Mister Deka D: \"A little miracle of stillness\" Independent \"A perky, quirky look at love, laughter and forgetting, Mister Deka D suggests that only when you stop avoiding the issue are you able to move on\" The Times","brand":"Berg 3PL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53715332497750,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780413771810_1_0b92135a-6131-4363-81b9-448552b2f0ba.jpg?v=1781767188","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/bandele-biyi-brixton-stories-and-happy-birthday-mister-deka-d-9780413771810","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
