Description

Elijah Kolawole Ogunmola or Kola Ogunmola (Nov. 11, 1925, Okemesi-Ekiti,Ekiti State, Nigeria - 1973) was a Nigerian dramatist, actor, mime, director, and playwright. He developed Yoruba culture, especially folk opera (drama that combines Christian themes with traditional Yoruban folklore, music and dancing, and music popular in urban culture) into a serious theatre form through his work with his Ogunmola Travelling Theatre (founded c. 1947). His production 'My Brother's Children' concerned family planning issues in Nigeria.
