Mfoniso Udofia
This is the most slickly engaging of Mfoniso Udofia’s scripts so far, its domestic melodrama enlivened by welcome humor, detailed characterizations, and moments of pathos.
Revelatory reunions are a standard dramatic setup, which explains why it takes quite a while for “The Grove” to gather some theatrical steam.
Abigail C. Onwunali’s powerhouse performance is memorable, but the mechanics of Mfoniso Udofia’s play don’t always match the lead’s boundary-stretching strengths.
