Book excerpt: "In the first play, a sensitive, highly principled young man gets "retrenched" by a transnational company he has served for years. Unable to take care of his family, and his sense of self-worth seriously hurt, he resorts to a drastic action. In the second play, a corrupt, decadent politician/businessman nurses a passionate ambition to have his daughter "answer the wedding bell" in the largest and most expensive car in town. Something dramatic happens that thwarts that ambition in the very last moment. These two plays provide a telling commentary on the Nigerian condition."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Synopsis Dance of the Vampires and Six Other Plays by : Bole Butake
Download or read book Dance of the Vampires and Six Other Plays written by Bole Butake and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This crowning collection brings together seven of Bole Butake's finest plays since 1984, namely: Dance of the Vampires; Family Saga; Lake God; Betrothal Without Libation; And Palm Wine Will Flow; The Rape of Michelle; and Shoes. More than an academic, Butake has distinguished himself as a playwright, unearthing and foregrounding the ills, travails and predicaments of a land and people trapped by the blood-dripping impunities of vampires in power. In his rich repertoire of over ten plays, Butake takes sides with the downtrodden, the wretched of the earth, the deprived and the underdogs. His jabs and jibes, aimed at the rulers, are scathing, at times vitriolic. He has excelled at a stubborn determination to ignore the sinecures, lure and allure of power without responsibility.

Download or read book The State Visit written by Niyi Osundare and published by Kraft Books. This book was released on 2002 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A recently published play from the prolific Nigerian poet, dramatist and literary critic, which testifies to the author's commitment to socially relevant art and artistic activism for which he is justifiably renowned. The play tells the story of Yankeland, an imaginary African country, where the country's natural and donated wealth is in the hands of a few corrupt rulers in cahoots with the American military. The powerful prey on the exploited masses, whilst upholding a facade of god-fearing morality. The play is written in the style of street theatre and producs a biting and dramatic satire on political authoritarianism and ignorance, which the author holds responsible for the backwardness of many African countries.The play does however show that such oppression is being challenged; and that the natural inclination of human beings is towards resistance and solidarity, for which Osundare's characters demonstrate great capacity.The courage, unambiguous criticism and optimism in the future are reflected in the performance history of the play itself, which was first staged at the Arts Theatre at the University of Ibadan in 1997, during the time of one of Nigeria's most repressive military dictatorships.
