Adubiifa Network Company (ANC) – a multi -media literary, theatre, and movie company is set to exhilarate Nigeria’s drama and theatre space with the public presentation of the stage play titled THE NOBLE WARRIOR – ENI OGUN.
THE NOBLE WARRIOR (ENI OGUN) written by Aiye-ko-ooto, directed by Oriade Adefila and produced by Cash Onadele, will be performed in honour of Yoruba Culture Ambassador, National Icon and Global Literary Giant, Professor, Oluwole Soyinka to commemorate his landmark 90th birthday.
A collaboration between Wole Soyinka International Cultural Exchange (WSICE) and Adubiifa Network Company, the stage play is billed for a premiere on July 15th 2024 at 6:00pm in Abeokuta at the Hubert Ogunde, Hall of the June 12 Cultural Centre and 4 shows in Lagos at the MUSON Centre on July 20 and 21st with two shows daily at 3:00pm and 6:00pm.
“With a carefully selected cast and technical crew, this celebrative cultural heritage play showcases the protagonist brand persona likened to Wole Soyinka and highlighting similar personality traits as a fighter and the humane warrior in his 90-year sojourn on earth.
“ The storyline is that of Oluwole – a princely noble warrior who desires a private life hunting, teaching, and romancing his intended, Olasope. Little did he know that Olasope’s fervent wish would be the subject of a bet between the wizard and the witch of the land. “Oluwole’s new goal was to rid his homeland of the British. This followed (his adversary) Gbadamosi’s prompt for Major Scott to deflower Olasope, his intended.”
“The spine of the drama: Only one arrow, the conscience, doubtful or delicate, pierces the crossroad of corruption, colonialism, and the crown.
The production of this commemorative tribute to Wole Soyinka is expected to tour selected cities across Nigeria after these initial shows in Abeokuta and Lagos.
