OBOTUNDE IJIMERE was born in Otan Aiyegbaju, western Nigeria, in 1930. After leaving secondary school he joined Duro Ladipo’s theatre company, but soon discovered he had no talent for acting. He attended Ulli Beier’s extra-mural writers’ workshop in Oshogbo, and followed his advice to write in English rather than in Yoruba. Apart from the plays in this volume he has written some short stories (he is not very satisfied with the result) and several other plays, including one in pidgin, The Fall of Man, specially written for Theatre Express, the Lagos-based theatre group.
