This play was written, based primarily on the Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka's "Ake : The Years of Childhood", "Ibadan: The Penkelemes Years" and "You must set forth at dawn", three books that chronicle a great part of Nigeria's history, the pits we have fallen into and in some places, managed to crawl out of.
Skimming across the life of this intriguing man, the play seeks to give, even if only a glimpse, a dramatized version of the life of one of the planet's finest. It would be preposterous to imagine there is one single play that can tell this story, and this is told to be part of whatever has been or may be written about a man who travelled the earth the way he chose.
