The Empty Throne

By K K Bonteh

...brilliant and wittily crafted piece, resonating with cultural wisdom and the values of ancestral heritage... The quest for power leaves the throne of Nfon Ndikighemen empty and his kingdom is thrown into chaos because he dies without naming his successor... Faithful Kingmakers (Chorus), and Winto, the Queen Mother, seem powerless in the face of Machiavellism... not even Ejise-wong the Diviner, and the Oracle of Nyombom can save the throne from desecration by dubious people like Tanto Kinlesen....written in the early 90s the play is contemporary, insightful and perhaps prophetic of the chieftaincy saga that was to rock the North West Region in a few years following its first performance (1996).Oscar C.
