This is the first collection of plays by award-winning playwright
Oladipo Agboluaje, a significant force in Black British drama.
Described as an 'exciting, vital new voice' (Time Out), Agboluaje
demonstrates his versatility to write plays that transcend African
and British cultures. Early Morning is a satirical comedy about
three Nigerian office cleaners who decide to mount a coup to
institute Blackocracy in Great Britain. 'The comedy is witty,
astute and sublimely irresponsible' The Spectator The Estate
centres on the conflicts within the wealthy Adeyemi family as they
make funeral arrangements for their late patriarch, Chief Adeyemi.
The Estate is also a social study of class conflict in Nigeria.
'Agboluaje writes with a sharp, satiric eye.' Guardian The Christ
of Coldharbour Lane is the story of Omo who, believing he is the
son of God, preaches to the people of Brixton to abandon the
'wilful peace' that is holding them down. 'an often hilarious, and
often profound, snapshot of modern London...[a] thought-provoking
piece of original theatre.' The Stage The Hounding of David Oluwale
is based on Kester Aspden's award-winning book and reworks the
tragic story of David Oluwale, who was hounded by two police
officers in 1960s Leeds, and of the man who fought to get justice
for him. 'a shocking and engrossing story...a kind of In Cold Blood
set in Leeds' Financial Times Iyale (The First Wife) is the prequel
to The Estate and tells the story of Helen Adeyemi's rise from
being the servant to becoming the wife of the patriarch, Chief
Adeyemi. 'satirical yet sympathetic, brutal yet beautifully
observed.' The Times
