The Mountains Group was founded by seven friends who graduated together from the esteemed Guildhall school.
we specialise in truthful, bold & Authentic Theatre & Film Production with our communities being at the heart of our work.
We officially launched in July 2022 with our Sold out debut production of Camp Drill supported by undisciplined written & directed by Aayan Shoderu featuring all the Mountaineers within the all star cast. Money raised was donated to the charity Art against Knives. Following on from this, In December 2022 we then, opened our second highly acclaimed production of My Garden of Eden, written by Obadiah, with Musical direction by Abdul Sessay, directed by Joseph Clark & Obadiah. The piece starred Prince Owusu, Obadiah and Arnold Lumu. It featured music & sound from Camille Saïd, Cameron Gorman & William Bracken who won 1st prize at the 2022 Liszt Society International Piano Competition. This was produced by the undisciplined scheme and Guildhall school. Following this Ebenezer Gyau, Joseph Clark, Obadiah, Abdul Sessay and Aayan Shoderu debuted their 20 minute one man show pieces to again sold out audiences at the Barbican centre as part of The Mountains We Climb series.
In August 2023 we were awarded the Numbers Award - where our short film The Complexity (a conversation between a therapist and her client) was commissioned and is currently in pre production. We’re about sharing work that’s meaningful to us from our London centric experiences, but also from our heritages stemming from Nigeria, Gravesend, Uganda, Hackney to Woolwich. We seek to infuse our urban upbringing where we listened to music, danced and were unapologetic alongside social political stories that speaks to people of all ages and walks of life. Thus creating physical and hard hitting theatre. Through magnetising movement, surreal sound, music and metallic words.
We now have a series of work in development ready to suffice soon.
With Authenticity continuously being at the Forefront of our work.
