Silva, Henshaw, Kosoko, Doyle, Akindoju set for The Wives

The Wives, a play written by Prof. Ahmed Yerima, will be showing at the Muson Centre in Onikan, Lagos in October.
It will show between October 9 and 11, 2014.
The play is presented by The Make it Happen Productions, the same company that produces Open Mic Theatre every other month and V-Monologues in May 2013.
The play focuses on the intriguing character called Chief Theophilus Gbadegeshin Olowookere; his sister; and his three wives – Angela, Cecilia and Tobi.
The cast of the play parades Nigeria’s brightest acting icons, including Joke Silva, Kate Henshaw, Jide Kosoko, Iretiola Doyle and Kemi Lala Akindoju.
“We are excited about this play,” says Akindoju, who is the producer of the play and Creative Director of Make it Happen.
Akindoju added: “These are immensely talented members of cast and the audience is going to leave the play thoroughly entertained.
“In The Wives, the question ‘can a man keep his most cherished secrets forever?’ is the central theme of the play. There lies a sordid little secret and no one wants to talk about it. It is a dark comedy rich in sensuality and scathing humour.”
The author, Ahmed Yerima, was the General Manager of the National Theatre of Nigeria and Artistic Director of National Troupe of Nigeria.
