A Conversation with Ngozi Anyanwu and ChiChi Anyanwu
Episode 11
Tuesday, 23 December, 2025
In this episode, we spotlight Ngozi Anyanwu and her compelling plays. In Good Grief, Nkechi, a med-school dropout and first-generation Nigerian, navigates first loves, losses, and the stars in search of answers. In The Homecoming Queen, Kelechi returns to Nigeria after fifteen years to care for her father, confronting family, culture, and past traumas. The Last of the Love Letters offers a tender exploration of love, choices, and the difficult act of saying goodbye. We also discuss Ngozi’s remarkable career. A 2020 Steinberg Playwright Award winner, her works have been produced at Atlantic Theatre Company, Vineyard Theatre, Center Theatre Group, Steppenwolf, and more. Her plays have appeared on the Kilroys List, earned Humanitas and Leah Ryan honors, and she has been commissioned by leading theaters such as Two River and The Old Globe. Ngozi also directs and teaches, shaping the next generation of theater artists. This conversation is moderated by Chi Chi Anyanwu. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
