'Progres' - An original tribute to Ken Saro-Wiwa







Some of the cast & staff of OSF

My latest play 'Progres' based on the life and work of Ken Saro-Wiwa premiered on the 10th of November at Community House in Salt River. Developed with the Independent Theatre Movement of South Africa and the Ogoni Solidarity Forum, the play was co-directed by Tauriq Jenkins who also wrote some of the speaches for the character Komo that he portrayed. Audience reaction was phenomenal on the night and an extended run is being planned before the end of the year as well as a national universities tour for the new year.
