Okwute: A Play

By Tochukwu Chike Muonagolu

Set in the ancient kingdom of Nri, now Igbo land in modern day Nigeria, Ikedinobi is a bush hunter, warrior and successful wrestler. When the Dibia, the chief priest of Iruwelle and voice of the gods, tells him about his great but unknown destiny buried in a land far away from theirs, the young man sets off for the land of the spirits to retrieve the Okwute-a stone analogous to the highly disputed philosopher's stone. However, what Ikedinobi does not understand is that his quest to retrieve the Okwute is a challenge to his Chi-a person's guardian and personal god according to Igbo spirituality. Okwute, which translates to stone or rock in the Igbo language, is a play about searching, self-discovery and realization. I hope you enjoy reading it
