It’s not every day you see a Nigerian book adapted into ballet
Pure joy watching Oyinkan Braithwaite’s My Sister, the Serial Killer come to life on stage. Felt like rereading the book with grace
The book-to-movie pipeline is great but can we get more Nigerian books in theatre ?
On this day in 1908, Jack Johnson became the first black American World Heavyweight Boxing Champion by knocking out Tommy Burns.
Johnson holding on to the heavyweight crown was not acceptable in an era of white imperialism.
#OnThisDay, December 26, 1908, Jack Johnson made history by becoming the first Black American to win the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship. He defeated Tommy Burns in Sydney, Australia, securing a victory that shook the world.
We are delighted to announce that our 2025 double bill will include an adaptation of the best-selling novel by British-Nigerian author Oyinkan Braithwaite, My Sister, The Serial Killer 🔪 🩸
