Death & The King’s Horseman shows at Terra for Sallah

Published by

PROFESSOR Wole Soyinka’s classic play, ‘Death and the King’s Horseman’, which opened for the Eid el Kabir holiday on Friday at the Terra Arena, Victoria Island, Lagos continues today and tomorrow.

Directed by Bisi Adigun, the presentation is produced by Arambe Productions with support from the management of Terra Kulture.

It features a top-range cast and crew including Toyin Oshinaike, Tunji Sotimirin, Bukky Ogunnote, Tunde Onikoyi, Wale Lampejo and others.

Based on a real life tragic event, the play is set in Oyo during the Second World War, when Nigeria was still a British colony. The king has died and as his horseman commences the traditional ritual that will ensure the smooth transition of the dead king to the world beyond, the British colonial officer intervenes. In consequence, the harmonious co-existence between the living, the dead and the unborn is under severe threat.

Will the turn of events cause a disruption of a cosmic order of the universe? Will justice be served? The answer will be provided during the remaining four shows today and tomorrow.
