    “We do not really mean that what we’re about to say is true. A story, a story; let it come, let it go.”

    Kwami invites you for a chilled night of storytelling. Combining the Ghanaian folk tales called Anansi stories and stories from his own life, it should be a lot of fun. 

    There’ll be drums, loop pedals, stories and more. He wants you to kick back, relax and let him take you on a journey. It'd be a shame if someone were to ruin it... 

    This is a script-in-hand rehearsed reading of Kwami Odoom's debut play.

    "Two thundering performances from Odoom and Ayola"
    WhatsOnStage [on Half-God of Rainfall]
    "[...] played with heartbreaking optimism by Kwami Odoom."
    The Guardian [on Hunger]
    "Kwami Odoom is utterly compelling as the unnamed young man."
    Exeunt [on Hunger]

    "Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."

    Local school teacher
