With the respite and return to normalcy, entertainers are set to excite many this Easter.
If you are a stage play lover, there are many enthralling stage productions being hosted across many theatres, especially in Lagos this Easter.
One of such must-see plays is ‘The Trials of Brother Jero’. The evergreen and classic drama by Wole Soyinka is staging at Terra Kulture Arena in Victoria Island on April 15, 16. 17 and 18, 2022.
