Are you looking for a place to entertain yourself and family this Easter season? The MUSON Centre, Lagos, is great for you.
There, Ayo Jaiyesinmi’s highly entertaining and engaging play, ITAN the Story, will be on stage on Sunday April 17 and Easter Monday, April 23.
The play featuring great actors and actresses that include Nissi Geaorge and Lara Akinsola will also be on on April 22 and 23.
Also in the cast are Paul Adams, Princess Adenike Adedoyin – Ajayi and Omololu Shodiya.
ITAN was first staged at the British Council’s Lagos Theatre Festival and has shown in Lagos, Abeokuta, Abuja and Ghana and at the Uyo Film & Theatre Festival.
In the breathtaking production, Isembaye is the Principal of harmonious living. In the realm, all is calm and orderly, but not so in Ajule, the home below where there are contentions, dissensions, arguments and rancour. How does Isembaye solve the deep-seated issues? How can peace be restored? This is what the audience have to find out in ITAN the Story as Asiko takes them on a visual story-telling adventure across time and space.
“ÌTÀN takes you through generation past into generation future with a lot of dance, drama and music,” Jaiyesinmi adds, noting that ÌTÀN the Story also touches on the tensions and culture-clashes amongst different generations.
Lagos is alive this Easter season with ITAN the Story, an engaging and highly entertaining play that will be on stage at the MUSON Centre, Onikan.
The play written, directed and produced by ever passionate and indefatigable dramatist, Ayo Jaiyesinmi, will be on stage on Sunday, April 17 and Easter Monday, April 18.
The producer, however, says the show will continue on April 23 and 24.
The 90-minute show will be on stage at 3 and 7pm on each day.
ITAN is also featuring YPICK, the master guitarist, with Jaiyesinmi noting that the play has been configured to be intensely musical.
“The idea is to give the audience a filling and robust experience. You will be filled with suspense, but we want it to be fun all through. You know this Easter season, people should have a great theatrical experience alongside their families and that is why we have made ITAN much greater than ever. Of course, ÌTÀN the Story is an all-time audience favourite that is enmeshed in an epic story that cuts across generations ,” she adds.
According to her, the performance is part of the STORIFEST offerings showcased by THESPIAN Family Theatre & Productions, with the theme Once Upon A Time. The festival has showcased Spoken Word, Stage plays, Junior Theatre Festival, Storytelling and Webinars.
