Description

Obari Gomba's Guerrilla Post is a play cast in the thriller mould, with its deftly woven plot and dialogue that race the audience to its cliff-top. In Gomba's play, poetry collides with politics, and lays bare Nigeria's unfolding contradictions that defy commonsense. This is radical and topical drama with intense political meaning. It is drama for Nigeria's here and now. ANOTE AJELUOROU The Guardian, Lagos Nigeria, this dramatic fillip that reminds one of the traditions of Arthur Adamov and Samuel Beckett. In many ways, Guerrilla Post turns the corner of... Nigerian dramatic tradition. It excavates and interrogates...social and political events, forcing them to yield meanings beyond the casual. Guerrilla Post is uncommon, it is the dramatic tour de force, and may well mark the beginning of the new Nigerian drama.
