African Literature Pack

Discover Africa’s heritage through two powerful stage plays that capture the spirit, struggles, and wisdom of the Igbo people of Nigeria.

Book 1 – Wait Until Dawn
Set after British colonization, this play highlights the Igbo’s traditional democratic system, Oha-cracy, where decisions were made collectively and the king acted only as a moderator. Vivid scenes, natural settings, and authentic costumes bring the essence of precolonial African leadership to life.

Book 2 – When the Samba Broke
Set in the early colonial era, this drama confronts the Osu caste system, a practice that once separated people by spiritual status. With traditional music, symbolic costuming, and emotional storytelling, it explores freedom, equality, and renewal.

The African Literature Pack is ideal for students, educators, and families seeking to reconnect with Africa’s cultural roots and timeless values.

Both books written By King Charles N. Lambert
