Kunme, said the playwright, was name for his mother, an Egun woman, thus showing the Egun segment of the celebrator’s Ijebu-Egun cultural mosaic., “and I’m using it to honour my mother and my grandmother. My mother is from Badagry. In fact, this play is to honour my mother because the title of the play is her name. She is the original Kunme.” The MUSON Centre plays would be performed by selected troupes.
But the exciting additional prospect for Kunme, aside from evoking golden memories of the past, is the opportunity, given by Femi Branch Playfest, for younger actors, especially students, to strut their stuff on the big stage. Branch disclosed that Kunme would be performed by students, after audition for actors, singers, dancers and musicians. That show is slated for February 25, at the Dramatic Arts Department, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife.
It is a practical way of creatively and positively engaging the youth, in a struggling economy. But the real news is that Femi Branch Playfest would be a yearly affair, after its debut during the actor/poet/playwright’s golden anniversary year. Again, exciting times beckon!
