According to one of the audiences, “I got an in-depth history of Nigeria. I also learned about the amount of suffering that has been happening in this country for so long. As a professor myself, I thoroughly enjoyed it” Others describe how timely the play is at a time that Nigeria really needs the input of Nigerians to correct the wrongs and not wait for the government at all times.
“I was highly insightful, timely, and very interesting. It is relevant o what is going on in the country. I actually did admire the actors. The play has a lot of research. It also brought to mind that a lot of things we are talking about now, people had spoken about them before.”For this reviewer, “the play was really interesting and informative as well.
I picked a lot of things about my history that I never knew about. I am from a literature background but a lot of the things I heard here are new to me. Fantastic play and a great actor”.“It is very educational.”The joint production of Just Theatre House and Artswax Communications runs all through the weekends in June at Terra Kulture in Victoria Island Lagos.
