This anthology encapsulates 41 years of Iyorwuese Hagher's dramaturgy through a selection of 15 plays. These plays delve into the lives of Africa's ordinary citizens and their primary adversary—the ruling elite. Each play sheds light on issues such as corruption, poor governance, identity politics, and racial and ethnic discrimination, exploring them with both scrutiny and satire.

Hagher's plays not only entertain with profound humour but also impart valuable lessons on servanthood, life, love, justice, and leadership. They skilfully portray the tensions inherent in the relationship between intellectuals and politicians, mirroring the contradictions present in Hagher's own personal life.

Among the standout plays in this collection are "Aishatu," "Mulkin Mata," "Swem Karagbe," "Mulkin Matasa," "The Camps of Segbwema," and "The Professor and the Cathedral." These plays are overtly political, drawing connections to significant events in Africa's recent history.
