Product details
The Lion and the Jewel is a celebrated comic play written by Wole Soyinka, Nigeria’s Nobel Prize-winning author. First published in 1963, the play is set in the fictional Yoruba village of Ilujinle and follows the love triangle between Baroka (the aging but cunning village chief – the "Lion"), Lakunle (the young, Western-educated teacher), and Sidi (the village beauty – the "Jewel").
Through clever dialogue, traditional songs, and dance, Soyinka explores the tension between modernity and tradition, gender roles, and power dynamics in post-colonial African society. The play is humorous yet thought-provoking, and it remains a staple in African literature curricula across secondary and tertiary levels.
