Book Synopsis
Six masterful works by the Nobel Prize-winning Nigerian playwright.


Death and the King''s Horseman: ''A transfixing work of modern world drama'' - Independent
Madmen and Specialists: ''A luminous play, examining the way in which war exposes and clarifies human conduct'' - Observer
Opera Wonyosi, adapted from Gay''s The Beggar''s Opera: ''Swaggering and scabrous, at once a verbal spree and a fierce assault on totalitarianism'' - Observer
