'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. 410 0$aDrama (Ibadan, Nigeria) 606 $aAfrican drama 615 0$aAfrican drama. 676 $a792.09609051 700 $aAbdullahi$b Denja$01542348 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796569403321 996 $aDeath and the king's grey hair and other plays$93795010 997 $aUNINA
