Lagos, Nigeria
After setting the stage on fire in 2022, Back For Ground is back; and this time, it’s twice the humor, twice the drama, and twice the shock! Sabi Arts Limited is thrilled to announce the return of the critically acclaimed play at the Muson Centre on April 19th & 20th, 2025, with two shows daily at 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM.
Whether you missed it the first time or just need another dose of its unforgettable storytelling, this is the show to see this Easter!
What’s Back For Ground About?
In a society where power is currency and reputation is everything, Back For Ground tells the story of Ijeoma, a young woman determined to rewrite her future. Once a prostitute, she now fights for an education, but the ghosts of her past refuse to stay buried. As she navigates sex work, religion, and the hypocrisies of a patriarchal system, she quickly learns that survival comes at a cost.
Told with razor-sharp wit, gripping drama, and moments that will leave you gasping, Back For Ground is not just a play—it’s an experience. And this time, we’re coming bigger, bolder, and with some of Nigeria’s favorite stage and screen actors!
Why You Can’t Miss It
A powerful, no-holds-barred story that will make you laugh, think, and maybe even squirm.
An all-star cast bringing their A-game to the stage.
A theatrical spectacle at Muson Centre, one of Nigeria’s premier venues.
For Adults Only – because some truths are too raw for the young ones.

Ibi Kontein on the Return of Back For Ground
“Sabi Arts exists to tell all the uncomfortable stories—the ones people whisper about but never say out loud. Back For Ground sparked a conversation in 2022, and now, we’re bringing it back, louder and bolder, because the conversation isn’t over,” says Ibi Kontein, Founder of Sabi Arts Limited.
Get ready for a stage production that will shake you, move you, and stay with you long after the curtains close.
