A masterpiece from Ebun Clark. 'I recognize that the issues Shakespeare dealt with in his tragedies and history plays are those that concern us in Nigeria right now: how the actions of those who govern affect, for better for worse, the lives of those they govern'. 'The use of historical events, as a commentary on the present, is common practice among writers particularly playwrights. Ogunde followed this pattern in his play ''Yoruba Ronu'' (Yoruba Think) in which he informed his people, in their period of distress and uncertainty, that they had experienced the same anguish of betrayal of leadership before.'
