Tags: Death and the King�s Grey Hair and Other Plays is a collection of three plays, �Death and the King�s Grey Hair,� �Truce with the Devil,� and �Fringe Benefits,� which are all experimental plays from the early period of the writing career of Denja Abdullahi, who is presently renowned as a poet of populist expressions. �Death and the King�s Grey Hair� examines the use and misuse of absolute power based on an ancient Jukun myth of young kings and short reigns. �Truce with the Devil� is a satire on the later abandonment of the creed of Marxism by its adherents, a kind of mockery of turncoat revolutionaries in the grip of practical social realities. �Fringe Benefits�, a radio play, is an expose of the happening in Nigeria�s ivory towers, seen from the eyes of a participant-observer., Publisher:African Books Collective, Published:2014, Related ISBN:9789789181667, Language:English, OCLC:933516586
