From Zia With Love and A Scourge of Hyacinths Zusammenfassung

From Zia With Love and A Scourge of Hyacinths Wole Soyinka

Unquestionably Africa's most versatile writer and arguably one of her finest. (New York Times Book Review) When the Military decrees that a crime carrying a prison sentence now retroactively warrants summary execution, confusion and fear permeate a society where the brutality and injustice of military rule is parodied by life inside prison. Based on events in Nigeria in the early 1980s Wole Soyinka's stage play From Zia with Love and radio play A Scourge of Hyacinths, were produced in the early 90s when the writer was exiled by Sani Abacha's notorious and unjust military regime.
