I have just greenlighted the most comprehensive and exhaustive work on Nigerian theatre using a compendium of our works as a trigger
13 professors and over 20 PhD holders have been shortlisted with interviews from such greats like Obasanjo, Emir Sanusi, Gen Gowon, Dr Tokunbo Awolowo – Dosunmu to be interviewed
Brilliant Prof Tunji Azeez is editing and spearheading the project..
The work is expected to x-ray all of our 66 plays, engage their directors, cast and crew and even engage sponsorship brands.
It is expected to beat the 537-page Maddtimes power list Coffee table as initial pagination is looking roughly to hit 1,000 pages
This project is expected to cost about N 60m plus printing cost including contributors’ fees and the rest
We will gift all theatre arts faculties in all Nigerian universities
I’m beginning to think, that there is something wrong with me
