Swedish playwright, August Strindberg is set to make, probably what could be said to be his first ever appearance on the Nigerian’s theatre space, as Abuja based theatre outfit, Arojah Royal Theatre is set to stage Dance of Death, Part 1. The two part play is about a half-crazed married couple locked together in splenetic isolation. Edgar, a garrison captain played by Toba Oyewale, and his wife, Alice played by Oluwaseun Odukoya, a thwarted actor, prepare to celebrate 25 years of married torment in the fortress they laughably call home. Half-starved and seething with contempt for everyone on the island, they fall with malign glee on Alice's cousin, Kurt, played by Ebitchi Promise, who arrives to be the new quarantine master. Since it was Kurt who brought them together, he becomes a weapon in their domestic warfare, as well as someone to confide in. But, contaminated by their viral passion, Kurt eventually beats a retreat leaving the pair in a state of exhausted reconciliation. VENUE - Residence of the Swedish Ambassador to Nigeria on Plot 41, T.Y. Danjuma Crescent, Asorokoro Abuja. TIME - First Show - 3.00pm & Second Show - 5.30 pm Gate Fee - STRICTLY BY INVITATION.
