Plays

[Lydia Jamyoung]

Also, i don't quite remember having deliberately engaging my literary senses with plays. The last time i enjoyed a play was when i read "waiting for Godot" by Samuel Beckett. Other plays i have enjoyed (without being coerced by my literature teacher to read and enjoy them) were "the government inspector" by Nikolai Gogol and midsummer night's dream by the Bard of England.

Oh plays... The pleasure.

I love that one too, ''Waiting for Godot''.

Others on my list include:

 

1. Aminata- Francis Imbuga

2. I'll Marry When I want- Ngugi wa Thiong'o

3. Luanda Magere- Okoiti Omtata

4. Oedipus Rex- Sophocles

5. The Merchant of Venice- William Shakespeare

6. The Floods- John Ruganda

7. The Burdens- John Ruganda

8. Shreds of Tenderness- John Ruganda

9. Enemy of the People- Henrik Ibsen

I'm ashamed to say that the only plays i have ever read are:

1. the government inspector" by Nikolai Gogol - I read in school as part of the curriculum but i enjoyed it. Lovely story.

2. I'll Marry When I want- Ngugi wa Thiong'o - The English & Kikuyu version. Really struggled with the Kikuyu version but it's definitely better than the English version.
