Oval House Theatre, BEcreative and Spora Stories proudly present a festival of new British-Nigerian plays, celebrating the work of three African-heritage, UK-based, world-class playwrights.
From the streets of Hackney to the English countryside; from the mansions of the Lagos elite to the oil pipelines of Northern Nigeria, three remarkable plays burst with the stories of the diaspora. Londoners in Lagos, Lagotians in London; Afropolitans, Africans and Europeans – a heady mix of characters and stories revealing our inter-connected world.
As Lagos grows ever more influential as a world city, and London as a world capital, London via Lagos reveals the political, personal and the domestic stories found where these two great cultures meet.
London via Lagos: contemporary plays for an international city.

Oval House Theatre programmes innovative new performance work that celebrates the diversity of our cosmopolitan capital; we invest in stories you will not hear anywhere else and in artists too uncompromising for the mainstream.
Spora Stories develops original African diaspora drama for stage and screen, inspired by the global impact of popular Nigerian cinema and British theatre.
BEcreative produces great theatre which tells the stories found where distinct cultures meet. Together we present London via Lagos: contemporary plays for an international city.Follow our blog at www.londonvialagos.com
