Death and the King's Horseman 0 FI { 5 /05 Based on an incident that took place in 1946, Death and tbe King's E DEATH HBOOIsi Horseman is Soyinka's powerful examination of the explosive tension z berween traditional African culture and the $7est. The king of a Ni- I $ 4?g gerian village has died, and Elesin, his chief horseman, is expected to -l Itl "commit death" and accompany his ruler to heaven. The entire village joins TH in honoring him, until a colonial administrator learns of the ritual AND z and decides to imprison Elesin rather than permit the suicide. Elesin o interprets this intervention as an act of the gods, but soon comes to regret his decision, as the villagers repudiate the man who was once o so special to them. The play's unexpected and dramatic climax occurs v KING'S vl when Elesin's son comes home on leave from medical school in En- Irt gland. z= "Deatb and tbe King's Horseman blen.ds European literary theater with HORsE. total-theater traditions from the Yoruba tribe in Southwest Nigeria. ul Through poetry, chorus, politics, and storytelling, Soyinka both en- o tertains and asks subtle questions about mass psychology, individual z psychology, and universal human struggles of the will."

No ettempt should be made in production to suggest it. The Colonial Factor is an incident, a catalytic incident merely.

    ACT 2 1. What’d I Miss COMPANY Seventeen. Se- se- seventeen... Se- se- seventeen… BURR 1789. How does the bastard orphan, immigrant decorated war vet unite the colonies through more debt? Fight the other founding fathers til he has to forfeit? Have it all, lose it all, you ready for more yet? Treasury Secretary. Washington’s the President, ev’ry American experiment sets a precedent. Not so fast. Someone came along to resist him. Pissed him off until we had a two-party system. You haven’t met him yet, you haven’t had the chance, ‘cause he’s been kickin’ ass as the ambassador to France but someone’s gotta keep the American promise. You simply must meet Thomas. Thomas! COMPANY Thomas Jefferson’s coming home! Thomas Jefferson’s coming home! Thomas Jefferson’s coming home! Thomas Jefferson’s coming home! Thomas Jefferson’s coming home Lord he’s been off in Paris for so long! Aaa-ooo! Aaa-ooo! JEFFERSON France is following us to revolution, there is no more status quo. But the sun comes up and the world still spins. ENSEMBLE Aaa-ooo! 1 JEFFERSON I helped Lafayette draft a declaration, then I said, ‘I gotta go. I gotta be in Monticello.’ Now the work at home begins… ENSEMBLE Aaa-ooo! JEFFERSON So what’d I miss? What’d I miss? Virginia, my home sweet home, I wanna give you a kiss. I’ve been in Paris meeting lots of different ladies... I guess I basic’lly missed the late eighties... I traveled the wide, wide world and came back to this… ENSEMBLE Aaa-ooo! JEFFERSON There’s a letter on my desk from the President.
