The book is a collection of fifteen plays written by Prof. Iyorwuese Hagher, Africa's most politically exposed playwright. This rare collection offers a penetrating insight of corruption and politics in Africa well as the global injustices that plagued the world in the last quarter of the 20th century and in contemporary times. Hagher's unique narrative style is richly inspired by his academic career as Professor of theater and drama and his practical work as actor and director as well as his engagement with the traditional Tiv Kwagh-hir theater. Hagher is master of satire, humor and unending endings. The plays are masterpieces of Hagher's workshop experiences.
