‘Anonymous Nipples’, a play, to be staged in Lagos Aug. 26, 27
The Duke of Shomolu Productions, a theatrical play-producing outfit famous for producing historical plays, is veering into a different area: romance.
Its Chairman, Joseph Edgar, said in a statement on Saturday in Lagos that the new play, Anonymous Nipples: A Trail of Choices, would be staged in Lagos on Aug. 26 and 27.
“We are stirring the hornet's nest by attempting to throw up such taboo topics that are usually discussed in the dark.
“The Play, written and directed by famous theater Director William Benson, will be held at the Agip Recital Hall of the Muson Center in Lagos,” Edgar said.
According to him, Anonymous Nipples will delve into very delicate boundaries in its treatment of sex, incest, love, pain, fidelity, and pleasure, amongst others.
“It will forcefully push attention towards the very critical nature of communication in healthy adult relationships.”
Edgar emphasized the need to force open conversations along lines usually discussed in hushed tones.
“Bringing out issues like love, pain, incest, and fidelity has become very critical, especially with the rash of divorces and dislocations in relationships.
“The gradual erosion of moral values also throws up the need to throw in some circuit breakers by providing recommended guidelines, as contained in this play, in a bid to encourage responsible and mature behaviors in society.
“The audiences will be surprised to see two plays in one feature.
“A trail of choices will be split by Mr. Benson and delivered to the audience as a softer, more romantic offering, while the bolder and much more resolute audience will feast on the stark, naked atrocity of Anonymous Nipples the following day.
“Both plays are gleaned from two super exciting books written by two investment bankers, Kai Orga (A Trail of Choices) and Joseph Edgar (Anonymous Nipples), who remain diametrically opposite in their attitudes and approaches toward the themes addressed in both plays.
“Anonymous Nipples will deliver to the audience some of the most professionally sequenced dance scenes designed to engage and thrill the audience using the warmest offering in romance and love.
“It will also dish out some of the coldest and most profound depictions of the strongest possible themes—sex and sexuality—in the strongest but most effective and responsible manner.”
Edgar said that limited tickets could be obtained at wakaevents.ng
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Benson last worked with the Duke in December 2022, during the showing of Ufok Ibaan and Ogiame Erejuwa II.
