Mono characterisation is something quite unusual in Nigeria, Africa too. The fact of one man playing the role is most enigmatic, also the ability to have exhausted the entire script in one individual takes creativity to another level. Mr Greg Mbajiorgu, a lecturer at the department of Theatre and Film Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, has demonstrated his ingenuity in this wholly unique genre of play with his The Prime Minister's Son, which has also won him several awards. This play will be staged at Terra Kulture, Victoria Island, Lagos, from the 19th of this month. You just can't miss it...
From Wole Soyinka, our own Nobel Laureate, we have King Baabu, which will be staged at Terra Kulture too . This interesting play is directed by Toyin Oshinnaike. We all know Soyinka, our great literary icon. It is oftener said that every writer has a genre where he or she plays as the lord, but we have writers like Soyinka who have beaten down the normal, with profound presence in all the genres of literature. Here is one reason why some persons regard him as the father of African literature..Don't miss out at the Terra Kulture
