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.
