I must tell you about a marvelous stage production, called “Hear Word! Naija Women Talk True.” I won a free ticket on Instagram from the lovely, talented Kate Henshaw, who also stars in the production and I went to see it on Saturday, May 2nd.
Can I just tell you that this is one of the most wonderful performances I’ve watched on stage?!?!?!? That’s including in the US and Nigeria. Gawsh, it spoke to me! If you’re in Lagos, nothing should stop you from watching this!!! I laughed, I hollered, I clapped, I shouted, I cried – the gamut of emotions that struck me through this play was astounding!
A little background – have you heard of the Vagina Monologues? It’s a production made up of a variety of monologues that touch on different topics from rape to love to sex to domestic violence and more. Hear Word brings this home to Nigeria. Is it the little girl whose uncle touches her inappropriately? Is it the widow who is forced to sit by her husband’s grave due to outdated traditions? Is it the virgin college student who’s raped by her first boyfriend? Or the older woman who discovers that her now dead husband had children with multiple women outside the home? Ah, let’s not forget how us women are quick to call other females ASHEWO for every little thing. And my favorite – the Christian woman who comes (pun intended) to the realization that God created the orgasm!!!
I can’t shout. This production, directed by Ifeoma Fafunwa, and starring great actresses, is a MUST-SEE!!! I wish they could take it all over Nigeria. I’ll share some clips gotten from their website (see below). If these don’t convince you, then I don’t know what will. AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! GREAT JOB to the cast, crew, director, sponsors, and everyone else who contributed to this powerful offering.
they should so do this in Christmas!!
I couldn’t agree more. I’d definitely LOVE to see this show…and take mummy too!
