Nigerian award-winning actress, Miss Bikiya Graham-Douglas, has been selected among Africa’s biggest and talented theatre actors to perform at the Cape Town Fringe Festival 2016, which will take place from September 22 through October 18, 2016. 
She will perform Wait, a performance piece written by Dipo Agboluaje, directed by Kenneth Uphopho and produced by Graham-Douglas’ Beeta Universal Arts Foundation.

This critically acclaimed piece made its debut at the Samuel Beckett Theatre in Dublin, Ireland, as part of Africa Day Conference 2015 and also showcased at the British Council Lagos Theatre Festival 2016 to a rousing audience. The performance highlights the strength of the African woman as she challenges a system that forces her into early marriage and tries to deny her education because she is a woman.

She will be at the Theatre Festival in South Africa to represent Nigeria.
