Three of the playwrights most iconic works are illuminated through the lense of African culture with particular emphasis on the norms, values and world views of the Luo People. A bridge between worlds which begins with the characters, the voices that drive the drama, a clear and concise retelling of the story using the play's key moments, a short historical context and most crucially an illumination of African traditions, using the rich cultural lense of the Luo people in contrast to the events at play in Shakespeare's writing.
