Oroonoko: New Adaptation By Biyi Bandele by Behn, Aphra - 1999

UK: Amber Lane Press, 1999. null Book Good Play "In 1688 the British writer and playwright published her ' true history' called 'Oroonoko: or 'The Royal Slave'. It tells the story of an African prince, tricked into slavery and transported to the Birtish colony of Surinam in South America. Biyi Bandele (Nigerian-born, London-based writer) has written a witty, thought-provoking play that is at once a celebration of Aphra Behn's humanist vision, a bold and irreverent re-interpretation of the 300 year-old classic and a tragic lover story that resonates with passion." Occasional black underlining, otherwise very clean, tight.. Paper. 3. Book.
