Hamlet gathers momentum
The Nigeria leg of the Hamlet
Globe to Globe Tour continues to gather momentum by the day. The tour, which is
scheduled to hold in every country in the world over two years, and which
opened at Shakespeare’s Globe, London on April 23rd, 2014, has
Nigeria billed as the 79th country it will berth at on the 4th and 5th of next
month with performances scheduled for MUSON Centre, Onikan and St. Saviour’s
School, Ikoyi, both in Lagos.
According to Adeoye Omotayo of
R&B PR, one of the many organizations supporting the staging of the Nigeria
leg of the tour, Nigerians should expect a very thrilling staging of Hamlet
because the lead character is Ladi Emeruwa, a Nigerian who is the first black
man to play Hamlet and who is so excited to be playing it in his home country
that he will definitely give more than his best on stage.
“Nigerians should come out and
see Hamlet performed in a manner they’ll never forget,” he said. “Hamlet in
itself is a classic evergreen tale, and I’m quite sure Nigerians who see it as
performed by Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre will never forget the experience.”
