'The Gods are all Here.' Just ask British-Nigerian storyteller Phil Okwedy

Phil Okwedy is a Welsh performance storyteller and myth-maker, Cardiff-born to a Welsh mother and Nigerian father, who draws deeply on his dual heritage and multiple cultures in his performances across Wales, England and internationally.

His programme, "The Gods are All Here" was built after finding love letters from his father to his mother, when Phil was clearing her house. Extracts from these form the backdrop to this performance mixing personal experience of growing up as a child of dual heritage in 1960's and 70's Wales with myths, folktales and song from the African diaspora. He considers if his parents were, in fact, the gods which, as children often will, he had believed them to be.

Audience who have seen it have described the performance as:"Superb storytelling, combining personal, traditional and reimagined stories in a unique way. Very moving and gripping throughout, you always want to know 'what happens next'.”

"Spectacularly crafted"
