Abstract

The dominant trend in the world of politics today is a radical and spontaneous move towards a state of terrorism in a bid to show a big line between the strong and the weak nations; between the powerful and the powerless individuals in a postcolonial state, and the paradox of this action is that it gradually leads to self destruction, and a rape on human dignity and pride which the perpetrators of this act seek to redeem and protect. In this study, however, Femi Osofisan’s Many Colours make the Thunder-King is examined within the confines of his advocacy against the expanding waves of terrorism in modern society, and how, perhaps, this could be curtailed through stage craft.

Key words: Terrorism, drama, power, politics, inordinate ambition.
