The

a Nigerian classic by Ola Rotimi
directec by Bayo Akinfemi
An African retelling of Oedipus Rex by the noted Nigerian
playwright Ola Rotimi, set in a pre-colonial Yoruba village.
Written in the dark days of the Nigerian Civil War, The
Gods Are Not To Blame is a warning to people
to take responsibility for what is happening to them, rather

music, dance and authentic African costumes.
