There is no mythology in the world that is not actually centered on human welfare; human wellbeing; human conduct, and ethical precepts between a group of people. “National Theatre… a monstrosity, misconceived from the beginning”“I have never been excited by any plan, either to sell it, or throw a bomb on it. ‘Bring am like that to Nigeria, but multiply am one and half times,’ because we are a big nation.” That is the story of the National Theatre. I remember the Arabian architect; we discuss this quite a lot, this thing (the National Theatre) was just brought and planted there. I have not felt the urge to write a play for that thing called a National Theatre.
