In June, 2013, theatre and art
lovers were given a treat as Bobo Omotayo’s best-seller ‘London Life, Lagos
Living’ went from page to stage, at the Taruwa Festival of Performing Arts. The
play, which held at Terra Kulture on precisely June 6, was hilarious and had
the audience in stitches the entire time. It came to an end with a standing
ovation, rave reviews and an autograph signing session by the author, Bobo
Omotayo.
After a successful first outing and popular
demand, ‘London Life, Lagos Living’ will come alive on stage a second time. It
would be showing three times on Saturday, December 21, 2013 at Terra Kulture,
Victoria Island, Lagos, with the Taruwa Festival Convener, Lydia Idakula
Sobogun, as Producer, and Kenneth Uphopho as Director, featuring a stellar cast
including Writer, actor cum producer, Abiodun Kassim, Radio personality cum actor
Omoye Uzamere, and Ayesha Shaba of Hollywood’s Spirited Actor and Tinsel.
The producer, Lydia Idakula Sobogun says, “I’m
thrilled about the changes that we’ve made to this edition of the play. There
are some additions to the cast and exciting new scenes. We’re looking forward
to giving you a great show.”
London Life, Lagos Living, 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 says, “The incredible thing about theatrical productions is they
give literature a whole new perspective. I am very excited about the
possibilities of this unique representation of my work”.
