The British Council has, for three years, been working on a theatre programme to stimulate innovation in theatrical practice in Nigeria. Alongside the presentation of excellent UK work in Lagos, we have sought to offer opportunities for professional exchange between Nigerian and British theatre makers. The culmination of this work led to the British Council launching the first Lagos Theatre Festival which focused on site specific work in response to a dearth of theatre infrastructure in the city and Nigeria at large. The festival which presented 1 UK and 3 Nigerian site-specific theatre productions took place in February 2013. This year the British Council is working with a team of local producers to produce the next Lagos Theatre Festival. The festival will feature site specific theatre, as did the last theatre festival in Feb 2013.
