The collection of short Lagos-life observations turned tales, is the
extraordinary journey of a western trained mind trying to navigate his
way through the Lagos metropolis. Published in November 2011, the book
has received rave reviews, and the Author, Bobo Omotayo, is excited
about this project, saying The adaptation of the book into a movie and
TV series had been offered by various production houses since its
publication. However, when the organisers of Taruwa approached us with
this great concept, it was something I felt was worth exploring – and
Just like the collection of short stories, there’s a lot of food for
thought… so [when attending]come with an open mind.
The London Life, Lagos Living theatre production features a stellar
cast, with Kenneth Uphopho as Director, and the Taruwa Festival
Convener, Lydia Idakula Sobogun, as Producer.
Also, as part of the plan for a well-rounded evening, the event, which
doubles as the opening ceremony for the festival will feature a special
music performance by the ‘Supersun’ BEZ, and Ijeoma Agu’s one-woman show
‘CHRONICLES OF A HEROINE’, which she first performed in London as part
of the Olympics team from Nigeria, and which always has the audience
spell-bound.
So, picture a group of vibrant actors show you the life and experiences
of a young man, a woman engage you with her tales of woe, and a rockstar
strum his guitar while singing to your heart, all in the space of
2hours!! That’s exactly what the show will be about… See you at the
Festival!
