Speaking on the objective of the program, the lead creative at D’Bard Creative Media, Waliu Adeyeri explained that the project was initiated to resuscitate the essence of genuine love in the society.
“The absence of love for oneself is the root cause of intake of illicit drugs that hurts the body, while the absence of love for another person is the root cause of killings and cultism. This performance is aimed at propagating the essence of love,” he said.
“The Love was huge, the crowd was overwhelming, the turnout was massive!”
These are the three simple expressions that best express the Adaptation of Romeo and Juliet on Monday, February 14, 2022 at the 700-seater hall, LASPOTECH.
