Joke Silva, Kate Henshaw, Chioma Chigul Omeruah, and Tosin Adeyemi are among the movie stars billed to feature in ‘Ada The Country’, a stage musical.
In a statement, Doyenne Circle, the storytelling medium, said it has been working on the play for 10 years.
The musical celebrates and highlights the power of the Nigerian woman.
The statement said the musical tells the story of Ada, a young lady who loses her 9-month-old daughter and property in a fire incident in which she barely survives.
“The traumatic experience sends her into depression but with the support of women across different generations, who have been through such harrowing experiences, she is able to walk through a process of restoration,” it reads.
“It revolves around the experiences of women across different age grades, expressed through theatre. Renowned poet, Titilope Sonuga, did the beautiful work of piecing the story together through deep poetry, music and dance.
“‘Ada The Country’ features veterans and rising stars in the Nollywood industry bringing all their talent to stage ranging from music, acting to dancing.”
The musical play was created by Marian Ogaziechi, produced by Doyenne Circle, and directed by Kenneth Uphopho.
The play will be showcased at the Shehu Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja on October 21 at 6:00 pm and October 22 at 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
