Nollywood veteran actor Richard Mofe Damijo, known as RMD, has relived how he overcame stage fright having been off the stage for quite some time.
He said this at the conclusion of ‘’Agbarho The Musical’’ in Abuja with plans to move the play to other Nigerian cities.
RMD took to his Instagram handle to narrate his experience:
“I was so scared of coming back on stage,” he wrote, sharing pictures of his costume for the play where he dressed as a Benin royal.
“The schedule was crazy. Had to travel upandan. But hey, I prevailed. We had an awesome show. I held and owned my space. The cast was on fire.
“In the end, the Abuja audience who picked on every nuance in #agbarhothemusical were the real mvps. Thank you Abuja for always making me feel loved. Looking forward to #agbarhothemusical doing Lagos and touring the world.”
The stage play was written and directed by Bimbo Manuel and produced by Patrick Otoro.
According to the creators, ‘’Agbarho’’ will continue to grow unity through the expression of Nigeria’s beautiful cultural diversity using drama, music and stage play.
Faces on stage included Richard Mofe Damijo (RMD), Hilda Dokubo, Yakubu Mohammed, Saratu Gidado, Patrick Diabuah, Amanda Nwoye, Jennifer Ajayi, Dayo Benjamin Laniyi, among others.
