After a successful celebration of the 77 birthday of Professor Wole Soyinka with last edition of the Play Reading Party, our next Guest Playwright is Nassarawa State-based legal Practitioner and award winning playwright, Isaac Attah Ogezi.
The play in focus will be his newly published play CASKET OF HER DREAMS which tells the story of Zulaira, a girl in her teens who was forcefully withdrawn from school and married off to an Alhaji old ...enough to be her father. In resistance, she killed her husband on the night of her marriage while trying to prevent her from having sex with her and becomes a fugivitive of the law.
What happens to Zulaira? What becomes of her education? Will she face the full wrath of the law? This and many more, including the dramaturgy of this play and its social relevance is what we shall be discussing at this interactive session as we have done in the last seven months.
This session is expected to be chaired by Dr. Anthonia Ekpa with Barrister Chuzi Egede, the Executive Secretary NAPTIP as Special Guest of Honour, among other dignitaries, stakeholders, writers and theatre practitioners.
