Mojisola Adebayo: Plays Two: I Stand Corrected; Asara and the Sea-Monstress; Oranges and Stones; The Interrogation of Sandra Bland; Stars

By Mojisola Adebayo

The five plays collected here showcase the diverse scope and content of Adebayo's playwriting and demonstrate an ongoing commitment to an artistic practice that is both stylistically innovative and politically astute. I Stand Corrected - a soulful response to the phenomenon of "corrective" hate rape and murder directed at Lesbians in contemporary South Africa. Asara and the Sea-Monstress - drawing on folk tales from both Nigeria and Scandinvai, this play for young people is about a left-handed girl growing up in a mythical right-handed kingdom. Oranges and Stones - exploring one woman's life under occupation in Palestine. The Interrogation of Sandra Bland - a verbatim play transposing the dash-cam recording of Sandra Bland's arrest to a choral performance about police brutality. STARS - a light-hearted space odyssey about a very old lady travelling into outer space in search of her own orgasm. A text by Dr Lynette Goddard, senior lecturer at Royal Holloway specialising in the politics of contemporary black British theatre, introduces the plays.
