I saw the play last year in Lagos. Then, the only "actress" in it was Joke Silva... The rest were all non-professionals, some were even lawyers, accountants etc and were just friends of the organisers e.g. Gloria Ibru. I imagine that's why everything they did was so real. It really was spectacular.

I guess how well Kate and Rita and the Nollywood girls do will finally lay the issue to rest on whether or not it is them or the movies they feature in that suck! Xx

P.S. Pele about the laptop. I feel your pain. Losing a report is a bitch!
