"Benedict Lombe's debut play Lava is a monologue play about diaspora, identity and belonging. It was first performed at the Bush Theatre, London, on 12 July 2021. The play is written to be performed by a Black woman playing all the characters, except for a few designated characters who are presented in pre-recorded voiceovers. When a woman ('Her' in the script, Black, in her twenties) receives an unexpected letter from the British Passport Office, she is forced to confront an old mystery: why does her South African passport not carry her first name? Armed with the wisdom of favourite '90s TV shows, she sets out on a journey that will take her back to the turmoil of Mobutu's Congo, growing up in post-Apartheid South Africa, moving to Ireland, and finding love in a hostile England. As her journey becomes inextricably linked with the tides of global history, how far will she go to unravel the truth? The premiere production was directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike and designed Jasmine Swan. It was performed by Ronke Adékoluejo, with other characters voiced by Jaimi Barbakoff and Ben Norris"--About the play.
