Metaphors and Climax
Metaphors and Climax explores the artistic forays of the late Ogonna Agu (Ph.D.), Nigerian writer, critic, actor, director, painter and Associate Professor of drama and theatre. In 19 exciting essays, this book captures the creative canvas of Agu as expressed in the genres of literary drama, performance and theatre criticism. Besides establishing the versatility of Agu as a virtuoso artist, the volume significantly interrogates the thematic preoccupations of his plays, their sociological values and the potentials and challenges of putting them on stage as performance texts. Issues such as the creative philosophy of Agu, the dramatic reflections of the Nigerian Civil War, the ideology of Biafra, the political economy of postcolonial Africa, love, gender and culture, and the ethical demands of peace and reconciliation demonstrate the broad canvas on which Agu's creative works are painted. The compendium is a good reference material for scholars, practitioners and students of African theatre, politics and culture.

In Our Own Words
This book contains 42 chapters variously exploring the literary polemics of Emeka Nwabueze. It provides practical, conceptual and theoretical insights for clearer understanding of dramatic compositions and trajectories of Nwabueze which will be useful in exploring similar creative literature by other playwrights.
Thorns of the Crown
The play, Thorns of the Crown, weaves several plots: infidelity and its repercussions, wrongly perceived justice, greed and the blind quest for power; man is faced with a rigid and absurd tradition. To be crowned King of Idele Kingdom, the contestants, Abunna and Udaegbe, must serve the decapitated head of the other for the coronation ritual. Abunna is the choice of the villagers, but the younger Udaegbe is egged on by Elder Ene because of the elder's greed and misconstrued rift with the late king Ojemba. Will Elder Ene succeed? In this precolonial drama set in a fictitious African society, good is rewarded and evil punished.
