''Unquestionably Africa''s most versatile writer and arguably one of her finest'' - New York Times Book Review A Play of Giants is a savage satire on some of the best-known dictators of our time (including Idi Amin); it brings together a group of dictatorial African leaders at bay in an embassy in New York attempting to make decisions together. Its theatrical predecessors include: Genet''s The Balcony and Brecht''s Arturo Ui.
