Tayo Aluko "Just an Ordinary Lawyer" Theatre & Performing Arts


Just An Ordinary Lawyer is a play about Nigerian Tunji Sowande who quietly breaks through multiple barriers to become...

Also a fine concert singer and keen cricket lover, Tayo Aluko muses on international politics and history as they affect the Black world from Africa to the USA and Britain, from the point of view of one who would rather watch sports, and spread love and peace through the medium of song.

Recalling heroic sporting achievements alongside epoch-defining political events, Tayo Aluko follows the multi-award-winning Call Mr. Robeson with another “brilliantly put together history lesson delivered as art.”

“The British Empire was trying desperately to hold on to its colonial possessions by any means … and the foul would often override the fair.”
