    “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]

    "Hats off to the CPT for this fine show, well researched and coming from a place of great passion... Comm­unity theatre at its most effective."
