The Lion and the Jewel is one of Wole Soyinka's earliest and most-performed plays — a comedy first staged in 1959. Set in the Yoruba village of Ilujinle, the play follows the love triangle between Sidi (the village beauty), Lakunle (the Western-educated young schoolteacher who wants to modernize her), and Baroka (the wily traditional ruler who already has many wives but wants Sidi too). Through wit, song, dance and devastating set-pieces, Soyinka explores how tradition and modernity battle in postcolonial Africa. A staple of Nigerian school syllabi.
