The play’s humour and wisdom shone through her, even as darkness and gloom loomed: Ajanaku to secure his path to the throne and cement his reign schemes to become immortal but his path to immortality requires a horrific price; the rape of six virgins.
Stage Review
The actors spoke directly to the audience, dragging us into their world with sass, soul, and side-eyes. “Who here knows a single woman in Lagos?” they asked. Cue the knowing laughter, the side glances, the “na me be dat” murmurs
he entire cast made up of students of the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art supported by staff members and industry experts deserves applause for their interpretation of the text and their delivery, American accent and all. The stage design which collapses the three acts into one seamless whole is also deserving of commendation as does Nicholai La Barrie who directed the play.
