Here you will find the latest news and information about Taiwo Ajai-Lycett's pursuits in film, television, Radio and theatre--plus loads of goodies like video, images all related to Taiwo's extensive career.

My first contact with Showbiz was a classic piece of talent spotting.  Pure Hollywood!  Sitting in the foyer of London’s avant-garde Royal Court Theatre I was seen by Mr William Gaskill, one of the leading Shakespearean directors of his day, and the then Artistic Director of the Royal Court Theatre.  He immediately invited me to join the cast of Wole Soyinka’s (now a Poet |Laureate) The Lion & the Jewel which was then in rehearsal.  Thus, in retrospect, my acting career was launched.

Over the next few years I have pursued a varied stage and television career here in the UK and in Lagos, Nigeria; performing at the Bristol Old Vic, Royal  Opera House, Covent Garden, Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, Hampstead Theatre Club. My TV appearances include, Crown Court, Some Mothers Do ‘av ‘em, National Health, The Maids, General Hospital, Angels amongst others.

Welcome to my world!
