“Because that’s what unfaithfulness is, isn’t it? A cancer that’s always in the back of your mind, eating away at the foundations of the relationship”. Matt Dunn

The Play Breakfast, directed by Dante Patrick, showcases the realities of adulthood in pursuit of love, and it was presented at Cafe 1, by the comedy stars (Patrick Dante Oke, Oluchi Amajuoyi and Kemi Adeshakin).

The play opens with Ted working peacefully on his laptop at a cafe; his peace is soon disrupted as Godiva enters. Both characters bicker on ends before they finally realize they are both ex-schoolmates.

The two bond and reminisce about their high school experiences and life in general; slowly, it unfolds that Godiva is an escort for wealthy men, and Ted is your average nerdy tech bro on his way to marrying the love of his life.

At an unlikely turn of events, we find out that Godiva met Ted on purpose as a set up by his fiancé, Kike to gauge how faithful he was to their relationship. And from there on, hell unfolds. As we soon find out that Kike herself is unfaithful

The slapstick play nudges us to conceptualize modern-day marriages and what it has become. Ted works hard to preserve himself for marriage while Kike gallivants around as an escort unbeknownst to him. The play bids the audience to question their views on marriage and to seek within themselves what they would have done in the same situation as Ted. It’s a very heartbreaking ordeal for the couple and the audience. 

The play harbours themes of love, marriage, friendship, and adulthood, showcasing life’s realities.

Finally, my thoughts on the play—the actors did a phenomenal job portraying their characters despite using an invisible set (the use of an unconventional space without built sets). Each of the characters did justice to their deliveries. The plot; is a straightforward and not cliché; it’s a play to enjoy
