'A sad tale's best for winter.'
Part of the 2012 Globe to Globe Festival.
The Renegade Theatre initiated the Theatre@Terra project in 2007, where plays were produced twice every Sunday in Lagos without interruption for three and a half years - a feat unparalleled in modern Nigeria. The company's patron is Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka. Yoruba folk tales inform this magical new production where Leontes becomes Sango, the God of Thunder, and Hermoine is Oya, the Warrior Spirit of the Wind.
