Lagos Theatre Festival
returns this year from the 23rd–28th February 2016 in a bigger and better way
as part of UK/Nigeria 2015–16.
The festival will take place at several venues on
Lagos Island and the Mainland with a curated programme running alongside a
fringe strand, allowing a greater than ever number of artists
and audiences to take part.
Purge is a play to look out
for during the festival. It tells the story of the world's most brutal game of
friendship maintenance; in which someone gives strangers one minute to decide
which of his Facebook friends to keep or delete. The deleting is real, the pace
is maniacal, the results are final.
New York-born, London-based
artist Brian Lobel brings Purge to Lagos with performers Marcy Dolapo Oni and
Gideon Okeke, who will defend their friends, share tales of love and loss, and
explore this strange world of social media and friendships which are
added/deleted with the click of a button.
