This is a story of ancient Africa. At its core, The Marriage is a story as old as time. A story of jealousy, lust and pride counter-balanced by the energy of love, forgiveness and acceptance. It's a story about what it is to be human, and somehow through its pared back simplicity, the story of Maimuna and Akapwon will anger you, move you, and remain with you in a way that you will never expect.
This tale explores universal themes such as the demands of tradition versus the dictates of conscience; how confrontation, counsel and punishment can all be means of bringing a person to greater self-knowledge and positive change; and how unselfishness, self-control and compassion are needed to undergird passion in a marriage.
