The play depicts a troubled and violent society stoked by a vicious and violent culture of intolerance and extremism. It is about restiveness, puritanism and the politics of religiosity. The play gives a glimpse of the views and frustrations of young people, the supercilious and hateful perceptions of some clerics and the brigandage of law enforcers in such a given situation. The play points to the role courageous individuals could play in speaking out for peace and standing up to violence and in defiance of fear and for preservation of freedom.

This book examines one of the most pervasive and successful dramatic tropes of the Restoration and early eighteenth century: sexual violence. During this sixty-year span, there were over fifty tragic and tragi-comedic productions that showcased rape and/or attempted rape—a remarkable number that was unprecedented in English dramatic history. Rape was not merely depicted more frequently during the Restoration, but it was also placed at the center of more plots, given more pathetic emphasis, and even staged more centrally. Restoration dramatists were the first to revolve routinely entire plots around the rapes of their innocent heroines, to give powerful voices to these heroines post-rape, and to imbue their sexually violent scenes with new and attention-getting staging techniques, such as discovery scenes. As this book argues, sexual violence emerged at this time as a highly flexible dramatic trope that could be used to illustrate terrifying political scenarios, elicit extreme pathos in audiences, and demonstrate the bearing that lost chastity had on social stability. It is precisely the rich, multi-faceted appeal of these productions—politically, sexually, visually, and culturally—that explains the popularity and significance of this dramatic trope on the English stage. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in Restoration, eighteenth-century studies, and theatre and performance studies.

In the fabulous surroundings of the sacred city of Christianity and Islam, Constantinople or Istanbul, a young, innocent but desperate housewife of striking beauty gradually becomes entangled in a web of a glamorous career in fashion modeling, trusting the promises of a unscrupulous filthy rich Jewish patroness for a rapid financial advancement and a luxurious lifestyle. However, soon enough the two roles undergo a profound transformation, as the patroness’ motives prove to be much more subtle and noble than simply turning a pretty woman into a pin-up girl, or possibly an aristocratic call-girl, while the innocent victim’s secret intentions are much more hideous than simply starting a lucrative career in fashion or artistic photography might imply. In fact, after an unexpected and mysterious death, it becomes even vaguer if this tragic event is just an accident or a well orchestrated assassination by a blackmailed victim. Incidentally, two retired military officers from the EU who are visiting Istanbul as tourists investigating mysterious historic events as archeological amateur detectives get also involved in this enigmatic affair, as they discern several fuzzy coincidences relating this untimely death with the accidental demise of a past Ottoman Sultan many centuries ago. The fog over Istanbul gradually thickens, as progressively more unscrupulous people intentionally or unwillingly get involved in the conspiracy motivated by a great variety of unclear and possibly conflicting intentions. This significant increase in the number of participants is promptly followed by another assassination attempt that nearly misses its target. In the ensuing chaos where fanatical competitors become momentarily trusted allies, practically all the participants lose their bearings driven only by the urge to prevail when the fog is finally dispersed. Only the hideous murderer knows exactly what must be done, because his or her aims are the most clearly defined. P.S. Garbol

Marrakech is the heart and lifeblood of Morocco's ancient storytelling tradition. For nearly a thousand years, storytellers have gathered in the Jemaa el Fna, the legendary square of the city, to recount ancient folktales and fables to rapt audiences. But this unique chain of oral tradition that has passed seamlessly from generation to generation is teetering on the brink of extinction. The competing distractions of television, movies and the internet have drawn the crowds away from the storytellers and few have the desire to learn the stories and continue their legacy. Richard Hamilton has witnessed at first hand the death throes of this rich and captivating tradition and, in the labyrinth of the Marrakech medina, has tracked down the last few remaining storytellers, recording stories that are replete with the mysteries and beauty of the Maghreb. Moroccan tales have a huge educational, religious and moral impact on their audience, offering timeless values and guidance to all who listen. With their passing we risk losing something of Morocco's national psyche and also part of the world's intangible heritage. Those who have seen the storytellers of Marrakech at first hand have witnessed something that is no longer part of this world, a treasure as precious as the planet's most endangered species and of immeasurable importance to humanity.

Musa runs from death but not far enough from its canny sting. His heart of stone is so cold that his suicide mission radar stringently points at a large gathering of his family and friends. Kaka Patu his grandmother and Amina his fiancee are unavoidably absent but Kaka Vero and Gladys are unlucky. Musa is apprehended and his death becomes inevitable, either subtle or hard. Yerima brings this ugly social reality to stage in Heart of Stone to unveil the depth of man's heart of darkness and the visceral vicissitudes of scripture misinterpretation and misappropriation.

Death and the King’s Grey Hair and Other Plays is a collection of three plays, ‘Death and the King’s Grey Hair,’ ‘Truce with the Devil,’ and ‘Fringe Benefits,’ which are all experimental plays from the early period of the writing career of Denja Abdullahi, who is presently renowned as a poet of populist expressions. ‘Death and the King’s Grey Hair’ examines the use and misuse of absolute power based on an ancient Jukun myth of young kings and short reigns. ‘Truce with the Devil’ is a satire on the later abandonment of the creed of Marxism by its adherents, a kind of mockery of turncoat revolutionaries in the grip of practical social realities. ‘Fringe Benefits’, a radio play, is an expose of the happening in Nigeria’s ivory towers, seen from the eyes of a participant-observer.
