"Unquestionably Africa's most versatile writer and arguably one of
her finest" (New York Times Book Review) A Play of Giants is a
savage satire on some of the best-known dictators of our time
(including Idi Amin); it brings together a group of dictatorial
African leaders at bay in an embassy in New York attempting to make
decisions together. Its theatrical predecessors include: Genet's
The Balcony and Brecht's Arturo Ui. From Zia with Love and A
Scourge of Hyacinths; When the Military decrees that a crime
carrying a prison sentence now retroactively warrants summary
execution, confusion and fear permeate a society where the
brutality and injustice of military rule is parodied by life inside
prison - based on events in Nigeria in the early 1980s Wole
Soyinka's stage play From Zia with Love and radio play A Scourge of
Hyacinths, were produced in the early 90s.
