THINGS FALL APART – Scene 2

The dramatization of the epic contribution of Professor Chinua Achebe’s book, “Things Fall Apart”. The book, transcribed to more than 300 languages worldwide is renowned for its contribution towards the development of African History as till date, it remains a point of reference far beyond post secondary education in Africa and beyond. It is thought that the account, as portrayed in the book, depicts customs and tradition of the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, and drawn from events as they happened in Ogidi, the Home town of much admired CHINUALUMOGU ACHEBE.

    That particular scene demonstrates, not just a cherished Igbo culture, but a typical African culture where obidence and respect to parents, teachers and indeed elders are the core aspects that denote a well trained child.
    A character that models a child into adulthood and is seen in that child’s words. actions and deeds.
    Thanks for you contributions.
