London 2012 Festival: The Winter’s Tale, Nigeriaanse versie

The Renegade Theatre initiated the Theatre@Terra project in 2007, where plays were produced twice every Sunday in Lagos without interruption for three-and-a-half years – a feat unparalleled in modern Nigeria. Yoruba folk tales inform this magical new production where Leontes becomes Sango, the God of Thunder, and Hermione is Oya, the Warrior Spirit of the Wind. Performed in Yoruba with an English synopsis.
