Abstract

Reviews:
"The two plays have the flavour and energy of a young writer as it emits all the vibrance it could in the area of employing all the other arts of the theatre, music and dance in the process of its realisation" - Professor Ayo Akinwale

"The two plays - 'Ofotiriofo', a well-conceived combat (revolutionary drama) and 'The Siren' (a psycho-drama) - have gone through stage baptism, as all viable play-texts should before publication" - Professor Olu Obafemi
