Multiple award-winning entertainer,
Helen Paul, has celebrated her 17 years on stage with the release of her
anticipated play, ‘Live Burial’. The event which was held at
the
University of Lagos Guest House, was attended by Prof Olumuyiwa
Adebanjo-Falae, (Dean, Faculty of Arts, UNILAG), Barrister Femi
Bamisile, Chief Charles Nwoji and Dr. Otun Rasheed among others. The
comedienne seized the opportunity to officially unveil the members of
her drama troupe.
Prof Adebanjo-Falae, who was the chief
launcher of the day with his wife, described Helen Paul as a special
breed and congratulated her husband for having a wife like her.
“She is also lucky to have a gentleman
like him too because without his support and sacrifice,, she can’t be where she is,” the Professor said.
Helen Paul recently toured some Nigerian universities with her crew to present ‘Live Burial,’ her first work as a playwright.
The tour started from the University of
Lagos, before moving to Obafemi Awolowo University and Redeemers
University, where the drama received accolades from veterans like Olu
Jacobs, Joke Silva and Dr. Ahmed Yerima.
The second phase of the tour is
scheduled to kick-off later in the year. “Interestingly, we have
actually received messages from some international schools requesting
that we bring ‘Live Burial’ to their respective institutions. But we
would be starting from Cameroon soon,” she stated.
