Ifeoma Fafunwa will be taking a second stab at the global phenomenon but this time she will be directing the Nigerianized version.

She will be helming a stage production that boasts a stellar cast of female actors which includes ageless screen goddess, Taiwo Ajai Lycett, Bimbo Akintola, Ireti Doyle, Dakore Egbuson-Akande, Omonor, Biola Segun Williams and new comer Rita Edward. The cast also includes Lala Akindoju who is wearing two hats; as producer and actor.

The play will go on stage at the Agip Recital Hall of the Muson Centre on May 3 and 4, 2013 with a command performance at 5pm on May 4.

Speaking on what she is bringing to the play this time around, Ifeoma who trained as an architect before moving into directing and the stage said she is glad to be directing such a spectacular cast and then noted that “Nigerians will be amazed at what these 8 incredible women will be bringing on stage.”

Lala Akindoju who is acting and producing explains why she is taking on the project. “I am producing the V-Monologues this year because I am very passionate about women and as an actor, performer and artiste I think we don’t use the platform that we have to speak on issues enough.”

The young producer went on to add that “you can never get tired of doing the V-Monologues. First of all, it’s a big deal artistically around the world.  Thankfully, the Kudirat initiative for democracy has worked hard and made the Nigerian version. It hasn’t been on stage for 2 years because nobody was ready to sacrifice themselves and do the house girl work.”
