Move On

by Onyekachukwu Iwuchukwu

“Hopeless. It gets worse daily. But we learn to move on, suffering and smiling.”

About

Move On offers a powerful reflection on contemporary Nigerian life through a blend of realism, satire, and tragedy. The play examines trauma, survival, and resilience within a society marked by political instability, violence, and corruption. As families fracture under pressure and systems fail, individuals navigate hardship shaped by terrorism, religious extremism, and economic struggle. Yet within this landscape, the play also gestures toward hope, suggesting that art, creativity, and human ingenuity can offer paths forward.
