About this book

The Earth Mother is a drama about the struggle against evil. Kamsi and her supporters stand against a group of councillors in the village of Nyong, which has been thrown into turmoil by forces that no one can see but that are widely feared.

The play lays bare the alliances and the sharp tensions inside the village. Kehbuma Langmia, a playwright who is also an actor, builds the story on those rivalries and uses proverbs and humour to give the dialogue its texture.

The book suits readers of African drama, teachers and students of postcolonial and West African writing, and anyone who enjoys a stage play that can be read on the page.
