Sefi Atta, selected plays

First ever collection of plays by

award-winning Nigerian-American playwright Sefi Atta.

"This is cotemporary family drama at its best: jam-packed

with complex characters of largely middle class

backgrounds; terse, wity dialogues that demonstrate Atta's

skills at portraying genders and generations with widely

differing aspirations; sibling rivalries, conjugal dynamics

and meddling extended families; best friends and bad

neighbors and a whole plethora of religious practices and

ethical mores which affect business ventures, professional

conduct, and personal relations. This and much more you

will find in Atta's Selected Plays-a drama collection which

offers thought-provoking entertainment for theatre lovers."

-Christine Matzke, University of Bayreuth.
