Wow!!! R u serious?? This is a VERY genius idea, well done laspapi. I really hope lots of people take advantage of the opportunity. I love Wole Soyinka's works esp. the Lagos Madman.
Great Job
Very very interesting....I should add this to my social calendar for the month
@ 2nd Cor- Thank you for the words of encouragement.
@ Uzo- please make the programme part of your July, uzo.
Why just in Nigeria! Ooooooh! I am so angry, Las.
Ide.
hey laspapi..i sent u an email concerning d comment u left on my page
wow!i am impressed i can see u are doing well for ur self....
hi wole,
if time permits you to gist us about your rehearsal process as well as the performances, i'd be a very eager listener!
Laspapilolo, how you doing? Nice weekend? I'm sure the shows will be fun. 2000Naira is really reasonable, me thinks. So do you act as well? Or you're always the 'brain' behind it? I wonder if you're cool with Mr Tade Ogidan? I think you guys will get along, and dont ask me how i know, i just know:D I watched Diamond ring for the first time yday, i didnt know Tejubabyface played Chidi, really good acting.
why nah! why do good things happen when im away! not fair (throwing tantrums now) . will there by any plays mid /end of august? ta
Cool! should beable to catch a couple :)
awwwwwwwwwww moments like this make me wish i was in nigeria. sob sob sob.
i love love love Trials of Brother Jero and The Lion and the Jewel!
so sad!
well done Laspapi!
@ Idemili- I'm sorry, Ide. Maybe we might get sponsorship to take these things around after "the season..." here. If it comes, that'd be magnificent.
@ pink satin- Thanks for stopping by, satin, you haven't done too badly with producing either.
I couldn't find the mail. Checked laspapi@yahoo.com, nothing. You might have mistyped the address?
@ frances- ah, frances, you're a thespian at heart. I'd be willing to do that. The different directors have started work now and there'll be lots of info soon.
ps- got your submissions for the anthology. Thanx.
@ omosewa- I'm still gonna sue for for name-mauling, child of beauty. Do you know OGD and I have never met formally? Its incredible, since I seem to know almost all of the people he's worked with. I think highly of his work. He and I will meet soon, I'm sure.
@ hurdle- sorry our time isn't in synch with yours at the present moment but there'll be other shows. In august, I'll be by the sands of the sea at Badagry, recharging batteries but soon after, there'll be other things.
@ refinedone- that'll be nice. Come join the party!
@ ~mimi~ Someday soon, laspapi will have a production in the city in which you live. You hang on. In the interim, I'll hoist the flag here.
Don't forget to tell me when you want pink satin and opeke "blog-napped" for any dis-satisfaction you have with B-Idols. hehe.
pinky, seen your mail. It was there all the while.
broda wole!!!
that's how you didnt call me again on sunday o?!?!??!!
I am very sure that you have no use for mne again dasswhy!lol
well i certainly hope i'll be able to catch one of your shows during my next visit to nigeria.
I especially love the Jero Plays(Trials of Brother Jero) I will definitely try to be there for at least one...Who's Afraid of Wole Soyinka? Also sounds interesting... It would have been nice to see all, but... who knows?
Las, I'm a tad jealous of you because your work is your hobby (if I'm correct)...I wish I could do a job like yours cos it seems like so much fun! Good job!
@ chude- already sent you mail.
@ diamond- It would be good to have you there.
@ nyemoni- looking forward to meeting you at one of the shows. Heard an Oscar acceptance speech once where the recipient quoted Robert Frost: "My mission in life is to unite my avocation and my vocation as my two eyes are one in sight." You're right, My work is my hobby, and it can be very fulfilling.
Soyinka is an enigma of sort, an epitome of class and integrity. Would have loved to attend but unfortunately, 9ja too far, right now.
Kudos to you guys!
LOL, okay i'll think up a new name, Laspapilolo is cute though hehehe:D
funny how i came here to ask you to put up a reminder. will make as many of the shows as i can & will introduce myself afterwards if the opportunity presents itself.
this is going to be very exciting!
tickets are available at the door, correct?
@ ugo- thanks for the good wishes, ugo. There'll be other shows you might be able to be part of.
@ omosewa- you better think up a new name quickly. The 'boys' have instructions to rush you on sight. How are you, beautiful child?
@ b- tickets are available at the door, b. If the opportunity for an intro doesn't present itself, please create it. Thanks for the support.
Ok!
b,please introduce yourself :)
refinedone? b isn't meeting with you, why would you want an intro?
how are you doing?
ok.. it was to you...ah!
