Over the years, award-winning Nigerian filmmaker, Bolanle Austen-Peters has stayed true to telling stories that are both authentically Nigerian and culturally important. In line with this commitment, she is set to premiere yet another riveting stage play titled ‘Motherland the Musical’, this festive season.
The play which is scheduled to be staged in Lagos from December 23 to January 2,
2023, features seasoned actors including Gideon Okeke, Temi Otedola, Uzo
Osimpka, Bamike Olawunmi-Adenibuyan and Oluwatosin Adeyemi.
According to Bolanle Austen-Peters, Motherland
the Musical promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions and a spectacle of all
our cultural outfits, music and stories. It tells the story of
the past, present and future of Nigeria. Situated in a town hall
narrative, the conflict areas also look at the issues that are uppermost in the
minds of young Nigerians and youths today.
In partnership with MTN Foundation, Motherland
the Musical aims to showcase the uniqueness of Nigeria’s history and
culture and create opportunities
for young Nigerian creatives in arts and culture. It also joins the
long list of successful projects the MTN Foundation has partnered with Bolanle
Austen-Peters Productions, including Death and the King’s Horseman, Wakaa the
Musical, Saro the Musical, Oluronbi the Musical, among others.
