An empty theatre floor illuminated by warm stage light

For years, the call keeps coming.

It finds Raila Odinga in a prison cell, in a house under watch, an ocean away in exile.

Through detention, Saba Saba and the long road to multiparty democracy, he always answers.

A grey herringbone flat cap

But every call has a cost, and it is paid at home.

By a wife finding her own voice as she fights for her husband's freedom, and by children who grow up listening for his footsteps, learning to love a man the whole country claims.

RAILA asks what a nation takes from those who answer, and what it owes those waiting at home.

A musical of courage, cost, and coming home.
