Description and Table of Contents

Description

Set in Nigeria, amid the scenes of everyday racketeering and general disquiet, the police try to clear the area of undersirables, as a traditional wedding between two illustrious and ambitious families is about to take place. 'Witty, wise and uplifting, this is a beautiful play whose message steals up on you and lingers on.' Financial Times. 'The play is a protest against the barbarity of greed and oppression; but it is also a celebration of people's irrepressible and indomitable spirit' Sunday Times.
