West Stockwith Parish Church is holding a one-man performance by Phil Okwedy on Thursday 12th September at 7.30pm.
Sparked by the discovery of a series of letters from his father in Nigeria to his mother in Wales, The Gods Are All Here is a moving, funny, and warm-hearted one-man performance.
Phil’s storytelling show weaves myth, song, folktales, and legends of the African diaspora with an astonishing personal story that uncovers his experiences of growing up as a child of dual heritage in the 1960s and 1970s in Wales.
Charting the time of life when children are said to view their parents as gods, but never having actually lived with them, Phil considers if his parents were, in fact, the gods he had imagined them to be. Exploring equality, freedom, racism, family, and growing up without your birth parents, in an enthralling performance, The Gods Are All Here is both timeless and very much a story for today.
