A study of the abuse of power by military dictatorships in contemporary Africa, and of the dehumanising effect that this has on both the power-drunk agents of the state and those of the oppressed who escape total liquidation at the hands of the former. Also examines the inhibitory effects of class and privilege on personal relationships. Set on an imaginary island in Lake Victoria, Uganda.
The play is about Wamala, a simple teacher whose job was 'thumbing pieces of chalk', who on the eve of independence, miraculously finds himself as a minister with all the associated luxuries befitting the office.
