Just An Ordinary Lawyer
(Nigeria/UK)
As the British Empire struggles to keep its colonial possessions,
Nigerian lawyer Tunji Sowande quietly breaks through multiple barriers
to become Britain’s first Black judge. A fine concert singer and keen
cricket follower, he muses on international politics and history as they
affect the Black world from Africa to the USA and Britain, from the
point of view of one who would rather watch sports, and spread love and
peace through the medium of song. Recalling heroic sporting achievements
alongside epoch-defining political events, Tayo Aluko delivers ‘a
masterclass in performance art, research and history’
(EdFringeReview.com).
