Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka's play “The Beatification of Area Boy” presents a kaleidoscopic view of Lagos, a poverty-stricken city projected to become one of the world’s largest cities in the coming decade. Set after after the 1990s oil boom during the displacement of Nigerian poor by the corrupt government, the play follows a Lagos street gangster, Sanda, who acts as a modern-day Robin Hood and is the leader of the local area boys. Act One begins with a "blood red" sunrise from the smouldering remains of a shanty town fire & massacre the night before.
