Eastern Angles are returning to Waldringfield

on Tuesday 22^nd April.  

The region's professional touring company  are back on the road with their latest touring production,  

Palm Wine & Stout

written by award winning Segun Lee-French and directed by Eastern Angles’ founder and Artistic Director Ivan Cutting.    

Palm Wine & Stout is a moving and magical story full of family secrets written by acclaimed poet, composer and playwright Segun Lee French. This funny and emotional play is based on the writer’s own journey back to a small Nigerian village in search of his father. The story, which focuses on Taiye, a young British man on a quest to find out more about his African heritage, draws some fascinating parallels with English village life. Along the way Taiye meets up with his half-brother, Femi, and a challenging culture clash ensues incorporating music, dance and whole host of entertaining ancestors.   Palm Wine & Stout premiered in 2010 when it was very positively received by audiences and critics. Now Eastern Angles are touring the show to a wider audience.   This play is said to strike a chord with those familiar with the amusing eccentricities and petty politics of village life.
