Kehinde Bankole Instagram – ‘Of what use is a good man without ambition?’
Announcing the fantastic cast of Crown of Blood, a powerful Yoruba retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth set during the civil wars of 19th-century Yorubaland.
Following their collaboration earlier this year, @sheffieldtheatres and @utopia_theatre present Crown of Blood, a first of its kind to be seen on UK stages, featuring Nollywood stars @_kehindebankole and @deyemitheactor plus an ensemble of the most exciting performers working in British and African theatre.
Written by @agboluajeoladipo and Directed by Utopia Theatre’s renowned Artistic Director @mojisolaomoibadan, Crown of Blood was developed with the support of the @nationaltheatre’s Generate programme.
Crown of Blood opens at the Crucible from Mon 2 – Sat 7 Feb 2026 before transferring to @belgradetheatre, and later King’s Theatre @captheatres in 2027.
