THINGS FALL APART – Scene 8

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.

    this is just a part where they decide whether to include okonkwo in the council of elders or not and if yes, when it would be; in short granting him a title.

    the part where ikemefuna and the virgin girl are discussed should come later.
