As Nigeria and other African countries celebrate 50 years of independence, let us celebrate the many heroes and poineers from the continent. One of these pioneers is 'Zulu Sofola.
Professor ‘Zulu Sofola or “Mama” as she was known, enjoys the enviable distinction of being the Matriarch of the Nigerian theatre and the first published female author in Nigeria. A true pioneer in every respect, ‘Zulu Sofola was Africa’s first female Professor of Theatre arts and a true embodiment of the essence of African womanhood in their traditional position of power and respect. (For more information on this great Nigerian, visit www.zulusofola.com).
A performance of her most noted play, Wedlock Of The Gods, will take place in London on September 18th 2010 all within the time period of Nigeria celebrating its 50th year of independence.
