If you saw "The five maids of fadaka" (a stage play which featured big nollywood names like nobert young, gloria young, bimbo manuel, rachel oniga, carol king and iyke ikechukwu among others), then the "Mad king of ijudiya" is with twice the excitement.
Mad King of Ijudiya is a christmas play with a difference. It is an adaptation of a christmas story featuring a rich blend of folklore, traditional dance and music; transporting the audience to a typical african village setting.
The story is about an awed King – King Ero ba ni’se, the great king of Ijudiya, who in the discovery of a rival within his territory, ‘flips his lid’ completely and goes to an outrageous extent to prove that he is the one ordained by the gods to rule. Even more annoying to the king is the discovery that the new entrant on the scene is a mere child.
In order to eliminate the encroachment on his sovereignty by this rather strange opposition, ero ba ni’se adopts different methods to get his competitor out of the way.
Nollywood stars to grace the stage include Joke Silva, Sequn Arinze, Gloria Young, Iyke ikechukwu, Monalisa Chinda, Florence Uwaleke and many more.

Scenes from MAD KING OF IJUDIYA


The much anticipated "Mad King of Ijudiya" took centre stage at Agip Hall, Muson Centre, on the 29th and 30th of December, 2012.

It was nothing short of excitement and thrills, as our wonderful audience (comprising of adults, teenagers and children) were treated to a master class of stage performance spiced with colourful costumes, folklore, display of culture, dance and music.

The play was delivered by our very own Nollywood veterans; Segun Arinze, Joke Silva, Monalisa Chinda, Akin Lewis, Gloria Young, Iyke Ikechukwu, Shafi Akinrimisi, Florence Umaleke and a host of other fresh stage performers who exhibited a high sense of professionalism.

Our audience had a lot to say about the show (http://thespianfamilytheatre..com/2013/02/video-mad-king-of-ijudiya.html).

This is what Monalisa Chinda had to say; "The last time I was on stage was 14 years ago. The show was energising, rich and challenging to me."

Miss Ige (@igesings), one of our guests also had this to say; "The show was fantastic. If you are not here, you have missed. The perfect Christmas show . Joke Silva was a witch and the King (Segun Arinze) was mad."

Nollywood veterans spotted at the show were Olu Jacobs, Nobert Young, Kingsley Ogoro, Francis Onwochei, Charles Novia and many more.
