Lamp of Peace

Lamp of Peace

In Iyorwuese Hagher’s Lamp of Peace, a gripping story of war’s destruction and meaningless aggression unfolds. Set at the War Hospital, the play’s damaged characters try to find the meaning of life. At the end of the war, the generals, warlords, child soldiers, and citizens discover they share the same fate as victims.

Iyorwuese Hagher, Professor of Theatre for Development, is one of Africa’s finest playwrights. His plays are engaging, funny, and critical. He is Africa’s most politically exposed playwright. Hagher lives in Dayton, Ohio, USA.
