After ten side-splitting Sunday nights filled with
laughter and electrifying performances throughout the month of
August the critically acclaimed stage play
‘PO’, ended in grand style on Sunday August 31 as some of the biggest names
across the Nigerian entertainment, telecommunications, media and sports
industry gathered to watch the last viewing which showed at Terra Kulture in
Victoria Island, Lagos.
The satirical play, written by Femi
Branch and artistically directed by Obi Martinsdepicted the
lives of two long-suffering government sanitation workers or in the actors own
amusing words “road sweepers.”
Featuring the hilarious duo of Wazobia FM on-air personalities Nedu
& Ogbolor, nicknamed “two mad men on stage” the play showcased the daily challenges
of the Nigerian society such as corruption, bribery,
injustice and politics presented in a light-hearted, rib-cracking humour and emotional punch.
The finale evening witnessed standing ovation performances from top comedians
including Funny Bone, Odogwu, Bow Joint, and spoken
word by Glorydpoetgenerating ripples of applause amongst the audience, followed by a mind blowing performance from the “Don’t break my heart” crooner Cynthia
Morgan all preceding the stage play itself.
Obi Martins, the director said of PO, “There is no doubt that the success of the play has paved a pathway for
stage drama not only in Nigeria but globally”. He expressed gratitude
to the producer, Yaw of
Wazobia FM as well as the
acting duo for the hard work and commitment to make the stage play memorable.
Some of the notable faces at the well-attended event
included Klint Da Drunk, Yaw, Bunmi
Davies, Zoe Chinaka, Ouch, Lolo, Cynthia Morgan, Funny Bone,
Katherine Obiang among many others.
