by Wole Soyinka
The drummers recorded in Nigeria under the supervision of Wole Soyinka
Produced by DOUGLAS CLEVERDON
For this delicious comedy of African village life, Wole Soyinka has used verse-rhythms for the dialogue and drums for the mimed dances. It is the story of Sidi, beloved by the Europeanised school teacher. When a full-length photograph of her appears as a two-page spread in a glossy magazine, her status soars far above that of Baroka, the elderly chieftain of Ilujinle, who reflects that it is five full months since last he took a wife.
