It focuses our attention on Osofisan's theatrical apparatus for making us enjoy his theatre as theatre. Osofisan consciously inscribes in his text certain anti-textual strategies that simultaneously immerse us and distance us from the complex social relations of his characters. Whilst we find his plays highly entertaining and moralistic, meaning is eventually open-ended and subject to our political biases. Nevertheless, Osofisan does not leave us in doubt that he prefers a re-ordering of society in benefit of its working class, and a progressive politics capable of producing a democratic and egalitarian society. Sometimes, Osofisan seems too optimistic that society is already heading towards this goal. That is probably where art parts way with reality, especially, in the case of Osofisan's Nigeria.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kemi Atanda Ilori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1910609285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781910609286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Universal Books UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.30d","brand":"Kemi Atanda Ilori","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48241542955263,"sku":"9781910609286","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bae16e6-19a5-45e6-a4a1-c34dfe2976a2.jpg?v=1772654885","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-theatre-of-femi-osofisan-kemi-atanda-ilori-9781910609286","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
