Posted: Apr, 7th 2015 Contributor: Bilen Shifferaw,

Spora Stories is delighted to announce the cast for the forthcoming UK Tour of Pandora's Box. The cast includes TUNDE EUBA (BABA), CHINWE NWOKOLO (BEV), ANYEBE ANTEYI (TOPE), EDWARD KAGUTUZI (TIMI), YETUNDE ODUWOLE (SIS RONKE)ESTHER UWEJEYAH (TOYIN), AMOUR OWOLABI (PRINCIPAL OSUN)  and TOMI OGUNJOBI (MAMA RONKE).
 
Following sell-out shows at Arcola Theatre, the acclaimed, award-winning British-African family drama, Pandora's Box, embarks on its long-awaited UK tour. Nominated for this year’s $100,000 Nigeria Prize for Literature, Africa's biggest literary award, and nominated for Best New Play, Off West End Theatre Awards, this moving tragicomedy about families, betrayal, choices and love is a must-see.  This autumn offers the chance to catch this 'touching, hilarious' (The Stage) play that has been dazzling audiences with its 'enthralling, brilliant' (Public Reviews) story and performances.  Pandora’s Box is generously funded by Arts Council England with additional funding from the Unity Theatre Trust.
 
A family spanning three generations and two continents meets in Lagos for the first time in over thirty years. But the joy of reunion also unleashes long-suppressed truths. An exuberant and thought-provoking mix of comedy, tragedy and family drama, Pandora’s Box reveals the heartbreak behind the difficult choices some parents must make – and the price their children pay.
