Bald Waje at last year edition of Ewuro

Multiple award winning music artiste, Tim Godfrey, would be presenting the second edition of his hit play, ‘Ewuro’ The Musical, an emotional stage presentation that captures the struggles of women in Nigeria, with a focus on discrimination and violence.

The play, powered by Republic of Xtreme in partnership with Swift Think Limited and the Lagos State Government, will hold at the National Theatre, Iganmu, Lagos on 16 and 17 December with a Command Performance on Sunday 18 December.

Performing at this year’s edition are music diva Waje Iruobe, Yaw, Lepacious Bose, Segun Obe, Chinonso Young, Nedu, Micheal Ejoor, Gbolabo Gibbs, Gloria Young, Isaac Geralds, Amaka Iruobe, Chioma, Xtreme and Tim Godfrey.

Speaking on the musical, Godfrey, who is executive producer of the play, said following last year’s edition, they’ve decided to make this year edition bigger.

“Audiences last year had a good laugh as the play went on, but more than that, they shed tears at stories that are popular, but which we have not really properly engaged as a nation.”

“’Ewuro’ The Musical highlights the challenges women in Nigeria go through on a daily basis.

“The play leads a movement that exists to address discrimination and violence against women.

“It centers around the abuse women in Nigeria face on a daily basis from rape, to battery, molestation and widow’s funeral rites.

‘Ewuro’ is the Yoruba representation of the popular ‘bitter leaf’ (vernonia amygdalina).
