The Lion and the Jewel tell the story of three main characters – Baroka, Lakunle and Sidi. Baroka, the lion, fights with the Lakunle (the Western-educated village guy) over the right to marry Sidi (the village slay Queen).
The play is filled with a lot of comic relief moments and lessons about preserving culture. The Lion and the Jewel is a thought-provoking, values re-evaluating but laughter inducing piece of work from the pen of the quintessential wordsmith Wole Soyinka -as interpreted for the stage by the eclectic Crown Troupe of Africa.The play is produced and Directed by Segun Adefila.
