BAP Productions’ stage play, ‘Dear Kaffy – Diary of a Single Woman in Lagos’, has concluded its London run to critical acclaim, recording full houses throughout its three-day engagement.
The production, which ran from August 7 to 9 at the Shaw Theatre on Euston Road, London, brought Nigerian theatre, humour and storytelling to audiences in the United Kingdom.
According to the organisers, the production received enthusiastic responses from audiences, critics and theatre enthusiasts, with performances reportedly characterised by laughter, applause and standing ovations.
The production also earned praise for its performances, storytelling and ability to present a distinctly Nigerian narrative in a manner that resonated with both members of the Nigerian diaspora and the wider London theatre community.
One of the major outcomes of the London run was increased demand for Nigerian theatre productions in the UK, with some audience members and theatre stakeholders calling for BAP Productions to return to London every summer with a new production.
