Abstract:
This issue is devoted to the revue sketches of Wole Soyinka. Soyinka's plays, "The Beatification of Area Boy" and "King Baabu", draw strongly on characters and incidents first created in Soyinka's revues and satirical songs, such as "Before the Blackout" and "Unlimited Liability Company".
