Description
The book "Wait Until Dawn" is set in the Igbo tribe of Nigeria, West Africa, likely after British colonization. It portrays the Igbo’s traditional democratic system called Oha-cracy, where decisions were made collectively, and the king acted only as a moderator. The play’s staging should vividly reflect an authentic African atmosphere, using natural vegetation, expressive lighting, and minimal backstage effects—such as cricket sounds for night scenes. Costumes include blouses and wrappers for women, and shirts with waist wrappers for men, while titled men are identified by red caps and carved walking sticks.
