    “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]

    Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
