Lanre Olabisi's relentless and devastating family
drama August the First observes the calamities that erupt for the deeply dysfunctional
Ibirinde clan, when they gather to celebrate son
Tunde's high school graduation. Matters in the household are already problematic enough -
Rhonda, the mother, slips headfirst into alcoholism;
Simisola,
Tunde's older sister, distances herself emotionally; and
Ade, the oldest son, bombards
Tunde with a relentless barrage of criticisms - but the arrival of long-estranged father
Dipo is what truly ignites the powder keg. As the night unfurls,
Dipo's most unwelcome appearance unveils long-buried hidden agendas and dark, twisted secrets from the past that ultimately tear the
Ibirinde family to shreds.
Ian Alsup,
D. Rubin Green and
Joy Merriweather co-star;
Olabisi co-authored the script with
Shawn Alexander.
