Dear Kaffy Highlights & Reviews
“It was amazing aunty! Saw it on the 29th, had to scoop some of the last few VVIP tickets available. Third year running, Terra Kulture has become a December tradition for myself and my wife.” ~ the_olushola
“Absolutely stellar musical, I felt so proud to be Nigerian watching it. And the costumes were to die for! We need those to be available for purchase honestly. A soundtrack would also be amazing cos the music was “fire” as the young ones say Congratulations again sis @bolanleaustenpeters” ~ oyindamolaoluwole
Dear Kaffy: Diary of a Single Woman in Lagos” captivated audiences at Terra Kulture Arena during the Christmas holiday season. Directed by the esteemed Bolanle Austen-Peters, the play delves into the lives of three Nigerian women, aged 34 to 41, as they navigate the complexities of love and societal expectations in Lagos. The narrative offers a poignant exploration of the sacrifices and compromises they consider in their quest for meaningful relationships.
The production was met with overwhelming enthusiasm, leading to sold-out shows and the addition of four extra performances to accommodate the high demand. Despite these efforts, the appetite for “Dear Kaffy” remained insatiable, leaving audiences eager for more.
The play’s success was further highlighted by a vibrant gallery showcasing family and friends on the red carpet, candid moments of Austen-Peters with her peers, dynamic stage performances, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of the dedicated cast and crew. These elements combined to create a memorable theatrical experience that resonated deeply with attendees.
In recognition of its acclaim, “Dear Kaffy” is set to grace international stages, with a scheduled performance in South Africa. Additionally, due to popular demand, the production will return to Terra Kulture this Easter 2025, offering another opportunity for audiences to engage with this compelling story.
“Happy New Year Greetings 2025 Spent a wonderful time with some dear friends @gillianjoseph101 @skynews from the abroad with family getting their ‘Detty December’ on Lagos
Nigerian Theatre is booming thanks to @bolanleaustenpeters director of ‘Dear Kaffy’ a superb BAP production which takes you on a roller coaster ride filled with suspense, humour, entertainment, a great live music score and stunning authentic costumes
Excellent cast, able to effortlessly showcase being a female singleton in Lagos ‘no easy’ with societal pressures and charismatic somewhat predatory ‘Lagos Boys’ on the prowl. Lively vocal audience participation added to the humour.
Congratulations Bolanle and thank you for the tickets. Loved it
