Download or read book King Baabu written by Wole Soyinka and published by Methuen Drama. This book was released on 2002 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "King Baabu chronicles the debauched rule of General Basha Bash, who takes power in a coup and exchanges his general's uniform for a robe and crown. In the manner of Alfred Jarry's Ubu Roi, this is a ferocious, crackpot satire of the plague of dictatorship on the African continent. Weaving together burlesque comedy, theatrical excess and storytelling, it has been hailed as a brilliant parody of political regimes in Africa and beyond." --Book Jacket.
