Kashimawo stage play in London this October

Kashimawo brings to life the legacy of Abiola, a visionary leader whose fight for freedom and democracy became one of the most tragic yet inspiring stories of our time.

With infectious melodies, breathtaking choreography, and soul-stirring storytelling, the play celebrates a man whose philanthropy, artistry, and unwavering love for liberty touched lives across the globe.

From humble beginnings in Nigeria to international prominence, the play is an exhilarating exploration of passion, resilience, and the socio-political revolution that continues to inspire generations. Expect to marvel, sing, dance, and be swept away by the richness of African proverbs woven seamlessly into this powerful production.

Written by Prof. Rasaki Ojo Bakare and produced by Chantal Edgar’s Duke of Shomolu Foundation with support from Elesin Productions, Kashimawo stars Biodun Abbey in the title role alongside an international cast.
