A Play of Giants

A savage satire on some of the best-known dictators of our time (including Idi Amin); it brings together a group of dictatorial African leaders at bay in an embassy in New York attempting to make decisions together. Its theatrical predecessors include Genet's The Balcony and Brecht's Arturo Ui

From Zia with Love and A Scourge of Hyacinths

"Unquestionably Africa's most versatile writer and arguably one of her finest" ~ New York Times Book Review
