"In West Africa, theatre is starved of support and crowded out by a fantastically rich music and dance culture. In Nigeria, most theatres have become churches to accommodate for the massive growth in religion, and the occasional performance that is presented is commercial entertainment. So Lagos Theatre Festival is a deliberate attempt to showcase an embryonic independent sector. All credit to the British Council for finding and nurturing young theatremakers who want to make contemporary work that is often based on social issues." -- Mark Ball, Artistic Director and Chief Executive at LIFT
