Our year-long R&D for 54.60 Africa culminated in a series of rehearsed readings across London.
54.60 Africa – A rehearsed reading
Ten childhood pals reunite to celebrate their friendship. They pledge to visit, between them, all 54 countries in the continent of Africa.
Seven years later they meet again with life-changing adventures to share.
This 60 minute script in hand R&D presentation is a collection of exhilarating, heart stopping cross-cultural pan-African encounters told through story, song, music and dance.
54.60 Africa is written and directed by Femi Elufowoju, jr, produced by Thomas Kell and conceived by the Elufowoju jr Ensemble in partnership with Omnibus Theatre Clapham, Bernie Grants Arts Centre and Hackney Showroom.
Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
