This heartfelt and powerful play, brought to life by BAP Productions, is a testament to the beauty of storytelling and the richness of Nigerian culture. Its success abroad is a reminder of how art can transcend borders and connect us all.

Dear Kaffy is more than just a play—it’s a journey into the heart of what it means to navigate culture, identity, and resilience. The story, centered around a strong and relatable protagonist, touches on themes that resonate deeply with audiences everywhere. With a talented cast and masterful direction, the play has struck a chord with theatre lovers far beyond Nigeria.
Standing Ovations and Rave Reviews
From Johannesburg to Cape Town, Dear Kaffy has left audiences spellbound. The play has earned standing ovations night after night, with critics and fans alike praising its emotional depth, stunning visuals, and unforgettable performances. Major publications like The Guardian, Punch, Vanguard, and ThisDayLive have all celebrated the play’s impact, calling it a triumph for African theatre.
But Dear Kaffy isn’t just about entertainment—it’s also sparking important conversations about African heritage and the shared experiences that unite us as a continent. It’s a beautiful example of how art can bring people together and inspire meaningful dialogue.
What’s Next for Dear Kaffy?
After its incredible run in South Africa, Dear Kaffy is set to return with a new chapter: Dear Kaffy: Diary of a Single Woman. Mark your calendars for February 27th to March 9th, 2025, as this next installment takes us deeper into the life of Kike, a thirty-five-year-old woman navigating love, family expectations, and self-discovery in Lagos.
Kike is smart, beautiful, and resourceful, but she has a knack for choosing the wrong men—much to the frustration of her traditional family. Determined to end her daughter’s cycle of heartbreak, Kike’s father decides to arrange a marriage for her, just as he did for her older sisters. But Kike, a hopeless romantic, isn’t ready to give up on love. Reluctantly, she agrees to meet Debo Mahmud, her father’s choice. While Debo is kind and dependable, Kike struggles with one major issue: she just doesn’t feel that spark.
As Kike wrestles with her feelings, audiences will be drawn into her emotional journey. Will she follow her heart, or will she give in to the pressures of tradition? It’s a story that will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on the choices we make in the name of love and family.
