The Lion and Jewel is a play written by Wole Soyinka. It narrates the battle for power between a young girl and an elderly chief. It tells the story of a village that is torn between breaking from traditional ties and accepting the modern way of life. Sidi, a beautiful young woman also known as “The Jewel," carries her pail of water past the school where Lakunle, the schoolteacher and a village outsider with modern ideas, works. He approaches her and chastises her for carrying her water on her head and stunting her shoulders; she is unfazed. Sixty years later, Nigerian playwright Wole Soyinka writes The Lion and the Jewel, an exuberant example of ‘total theatre’ which points towards the Nobel Prize Soyinka was later to receive. Finally, we reach the present, with Sarah Kane’s radical, shocking Phaedra’s Love, a re-working of Seneca’s tragedy which has only been seen once previously in this country.
