| Description: | Elesin Oba, the King's Horseman, has a single destiny. When the King dies, he must commit ritual suicide and lead his King's favourite horse and dog through the passage to the world of the ancestors. A British Colonial Officer, Pilkings, intervenes. |
| Key Points: | 'This play, by the winner of a Nobel Prize for literature, asks "on the authority of what gods" the white aliens rupture a world. It puts exciting political theatre back on the agenda... A masterpiece of 20th-century drama' The Guardian |
