Port Harcourt World Book Capital drama to be staged in Lagos and Abuja! Obele and the Storyteller, a dance drama that traces the history of storytelling in Nigeria from the oral tradition to the written word was performed at the opening ceremonies of the Port Harcourt World Book Capital in April, 2014. Following rave reviews from those who watched it, the Rainbow Book Club, Project Managers of the World Book Capital are currently concluding plans to stage performances in Lagos and Abuja this September. According to Mrs. Koko Kalango, Founder of the Rainbow Book Club and Project Director for Port Harcourt World Book Capital “Obele and the Story Teller is a wonderful dance drama that every Nigerian must see. By taking this drama to Lagos and Abuja we hope to not only emphasize Port Harcourt’s status as UNESCO World Book Capital, but to also provide relaxing entertainment to our friends and partners in these major cities.” Obele and the Storyteller is written by Oladipo Agboluaje directed by Israel Eboh and produced by Beeta Universal Arts Foundation (BUAF).
