The preface to this play notes that its “confrontation is largely metaphysical” and that it should not be seen as a “clash of cultures.” In this play, a joke about holy water offends the servant Joseph, who is confused by changing drum music. In this play, a character disowns his father by calling him an “eater of left-overs.” That character in this play returns from studying (*) medicine in England and argues with a woman who wears a tribal mask. A character in this play tells the story of the Not-I bird to the Praise Singer, and strangles himself with his own chains after seeing the corpse of his son Olunde (“oh-LUN-day”). Simon Pilkings prevents the ritual suicide of Elesin (“eh-LAY-sin”) according to Yoruba (“YOH-roo-buh”) tradition in, for 10 points, what play by Wole Soyinka ■END■
