Description
In The Limam and Ade Ire, the lust for power knows no bounds as it transcends political and spiritual barriers. Here, initiates and mortals, blinded by their own selfish ambitions and goaded by a false sense of self-importance defy tradition and dare gods to battle, with cataclysmic consequence. But it is not only tragedy which is portrayed in these two play, they celebrate the ultimate triumph of truth and justice over falsehood and the evil machinations of a powerful few. The plays are racy, intriguing and suspense-filled. The language is simple and beautiful. It is vintage Yerima.
