If you’re free today or tomorrow make sure to check out Mami Wata by Bisola Alabi at the @bushtheatre . It’s and R & D sharing. “The show is inspired by Nigerian mythology and the water deity Mami Wata. Set in a women’s hostel, we follow the story of Fifi after she receives a letter from her absentee father. Also estranged from her mother, Fifi’s recent loss of a loved one confronts her in the form of the mysterious Mami Wata.” . #bisolaalabi #bushtheatre #youngvic #tamasha #acting #actor #plays4poc #nigeria #nigerianmythology #mythology #theatre #plays #drama #mamiwata

This play by Vivienne Franzmann is absolutely wonderful. The emotion portrayed in it is so visceral. It follows the relationship of a young woman Alex who has a type of identity crisis that most people of colour go through at some point. I remember having this at university, in the same way that Alex explains actually. Alex is adopted by a white British war photographer after he goes to Rwanda during the genocide. The picture he captures of her when she was younger is award winning but there’s more to that picture than Joseph let’s on. I truly recommend reading this amazing piece. #plays4poc #viviennefranzmann #thewitness #theatre #acting #actor #playsforbame #blackactors #royalcourt @royalcourttheatre

I watched Gbolahan Obisesan’s “The Fishermen” at the @arcolatheatre two days ago now and it took me a minute to really find the words. When I think of compelling storytelling that’s exactly what I envision, these young men @_michaelajao and @vxlentine16 Valentine Olukoga gave it their all. Playing an array of characters between them, fantastic transformations took place before our eyes, to the point where every single character was genuinely present one entirely different from the next. Then when you get to the heart of the story, a story that starts off as an innocent children’s exploration for adventure that unfortunately ends in the dismantling of a family. It’s completely heart wrenching, I was stunned. I felt the pain, I felt the joy everything was so deep so raw. Even as I’m writing this, I’m feeling it. I urge everyone who can to watch it. It’s completely SOLD OUT but you should try waiting or calling in for any returns. ____________________ #plays4poc #thefishermem #theatre #acting #actor #actors #blackactors #arcolatheatre #gbolahanobisesan #chigozieobioma #nigeria #blackactor #blackmonologues #blackactors
