Bola Agbaje in conversation with Femi Oguns

African theatre has never been so prevalent in London.

Bola’s Gone Too Far is at The Royal Court Theatre, Femi’s Torn is at the Arcola Theatre, and new African playwright for every day of the week is about to fire up the Almeida Theatre with the Tiata Fahodzi residence.

This four minute edit of a 40 minute conversation touches on how Bola and Femi came to take centre-stage and the issues they want to explore through their art.
