Description
Atila The Shylock is a drama in two acts with Tosa as the major character. Tosa dreams that he will become a millionaire by an act of fate, and borrow money from a shylock money lender Atila, at the urging of prophet Aloy to engage in pool betting so that his dream can come true. The climax of the drama comes when Folake, Tosa's sister and prophet Aloy, denounce Tosa in his moment of trial, as he waits agonizingly for Atila to call and collect his money by fair or foul means.
