Hear
Word a thought-provoking theatre production directed by Ifeoma Fafunwa makes a

This
year feels like it would be bigger as top Nigerian designer Ituen Basi is on

iOpenEye and Fayrouz are backing the play and while some acts for the debut
aren’t on the bill, I look forward to seeing how the new ones will do.
