‘Death and the King’s Horseman’, one of the best works of Literature veteran, Prof. Wole Soyinka performed live on stage, will be a major attraction this Sallah holidays at Terra Kulture arena, Victoria Island, Lagos.

The play, which is set in ancient Oyo town, describes Nigeria during the World War II, when Nigeria was still a British colony where after the king’s death, the king’s horseman commences the traditional ritual that will ensure the smooth transition of the dead king to the world beyond as the British colonial officer intervenes.
