It’s 1914, one hundred years ago exactly, and Nigeria is about to be formed. Herbert and his well-known troupe of female actors are preparing to stage a story for the British Governor and his wife.

The story of the Spear Of Shango is about a brave young woman who must use her strength and agility to save her father’s kingdom. But there’s a problem, the story doesn’t quite fit with the governor’s vision of a united country…

How Nigeria Became: A Story, And A Spear That Didn’t Work is a colourful and quick-witted production offering a creative insight into Nigeria’s beginnings in 1914.

Gbolahan Obisesan’s drama is suitable for children aged eight and older.
