Publisher Description: The plays explore the idea of tragedy from Yoruba cultural performance; the people's beliefs about human fate and their faith in the gods. This collection of the Ifè Quartet of plays - Pègúnrun (The Cactus), Ikúdętì (Cannot be Trapped by Death), Kútelù (nickname for hunchback or deformed people) and Òsun (River Goddess) - provide insight into the rich ambience of mythological, artistic and performance heritage that nuture the dramatic oeuvre of frontline African literary dramatists. |
