Description

This play is a satirical drama that uses the character Aringindin—a cunning and resourceful trickster figure—to explore social and political themes. Set in a traditional African town, the story follows Aringindin as he interacts with a group of nightwatchmen, revealing the absurdities and contradictions of authority, power, and societal order. Through humor, wit, and sharp dialogue, Osofisan critiques corruption, incompetence, and the failure of leadership, while celebrating the resilience and cleverness of ordinary people who navigate these challenges.
