I wish I had more time to read this play and take it in fully. I read it for my lit class and did fall asleep at least once. That being said, I found it to be a fresh exploration of the cultural war between Nigerians and the occupying British. I would suggest watching the play on YouTube as you read it so as to fully experience it.
