Nigerian 'Song of a Goat' opens with all black cast
Last night a near-capacity crowd viewed the opening of an all-black cast in "Song of a Goat."
The Nigerian drama, by J. P. Clark, was presented in the Experimental Theatre. It is directed by guest Nigerian professor, Joel Adedeji.
"Song of a Goat" tells the tragic story of a fisherman and ship pilot, Zifa, who finds himself caught in conflict with tradition. Zifa, portrayed by Horace Bond, Lawrence graduate student, becomes impatient after the birth of his first child, a son. He feels it is a temporary condition related to the ebb and flow of the tides.
The conflict comes sharply into focus, however, when a masseur suggests to Zifa's wife, Ebiere, played by Janet William, Kansas City senior, that an incestuous relationship with Zifa's younger brother Tonya would remedy the situation.
Though their small community would find such a solution completely acceptable, the idea repulses both Ebiere and Zifa. Traditional society recognizes individuals only as members of a group and therefore regards a wife as wife of the whole clan. But Zifa's life on the River Niger and contact with passengers from other areas have made him think as an individual and influence his wife's views.
Although the drama is a tragedy, the audience found humor
