Death and the King’s Horseman
Nigerian playwright Wole Soyinka is the first African to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature. His Death and the King’s Horseman is based on a real incident that took place in Nigeria. The play has been lauded as a drama that “goes so deeply into human and superhuman conditions that it cannot be reduced to something that teaches us about breaches between different civilizations”.
