"... I find this novel a great piece of
literature, Impressive and
despairingly reflecting the realities,
despite its ending ...
It has a power reminding me of
Waiting for Godot".

A PLAY IN TWO ACTS
by Meja Mwangi
After a successful career as a civil servant, the Old Man breaks ranks with
the Big Chiefs and is banished to live in poverty in the Pit. In a bitter
recollection, he reveals how the Big Chiefs set their subjects against one
another in order to weaken and control them. Now, like the Old Man who
made it to the top, romanced with power and came tumbling down into
the Pit, the Boy and his generation are after the power that the Big Chiefs
deem as theirs and theirs alone.

In this adaptation of Meja Mwangi’s apocalyptic novel, The Big Chiefs,
the author has produced a play that is just as  powerful.
