6. Wole Soyinka- Nobel Lecture Transcript of wole soyinka's 1986 nobel lecture. http://www.nobel.se/literature/laureates/1986/soyinka-lecture.html

Nobel Lecture, December 8, 1986 This Past Must Address Its Present A rather curious scene, unscripted, once took place in the wings of a London theatre at the same time as the scheduled performance was being presented on the actual stage, before an audience. What happened was this: an actor refused to come on stage for his allocated role. Action was suspended. A fellow actor tried to persuade him to emerge, but he stubbornly shook his head. Then a struggle ensued. The second actor had hoped that, by suddenly exposing the reluctant actor to the audience in full glare of the spotlight, he would have no choice but to rejoin the cast. And so he tried to take the delinquent actor by surprise, pulling him suddenly towards the stage. He did not fully succeed, so a brief but untidy struggle began. The unwilling actor was completely taken aback and deeply embarrassed - some of that tussle was quite visible to a part of the audience. And now let us remove some of the mystery and make that incident a little more concrete. The scene was the Royal Court Theatre, London, 1958. It was one of those Sunday nights which were given to experimentation, an innovation of that remarkable theatre manager-director, George Devine, whose creative nurturing radicalised British theatre of that period and produced later icons like John Osborne, N. F. Simpson, Edward Bond, Arnold Wesker, Harold Pinter, John Arden, etc., and even forced the then conservative British palate to sample stylistic and ideological pariahs like

MEDIA INQUIRIES ONLY: Diane Russell NOBEL PRIZE-WINNING PLAYWRIGHT WOLE SOYINKA TO SPEAK AT UNLV Nobel Prize-winning playwright Wole Soyinka will speak at UNLV on Oct. 26 as part of the Barrick Lecture Series. Soyinka's presentation, "Human Rights and the Claims of Relativism," is set for 7:30 p.m. in Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall. The event is free, but tickets are required. Tickets may be picked up beginning Oct. 16 at the Performing Arts Center box office at Ham Concert Hall. For additional information on tickets, call 895-2787. Soyinka, a playwright, poet, novelist, essayist, and theater director, won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986. Some of Soyinka's writing stems from his imprisonment in his native Nigeria from 1967 to 1969 during that nation's civil war. Most of his time in prison was spent in solitary confinement. From this experience emerged his work, The Man Died Soyinka, who currently is a professor of the arts at Emory University in Atlanta, writes mainly in English, but his works are distinguished by their exploration of "the African world view" and are steeped in Yoruba mythology, imagery, and dramatic idioms. Ake , his childhood biography, and his tragic drama Death and the King's Horseman , have been acclaimed as classics.

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Wole Soyinka (1934-) - in full Akinwande Oluwole Soyinka Nigerian playwright, poet, novelist, and critic, first black African who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986. Soyinka has been imprisoned several times for his criticism of the government and from the 1970s he has lived long periods in exile. Soyinka's plays range from comedy to tragedy, and from political satire to the theatre of the absurd. He has combined influences from Western traditions with African myth, legends and folklore, and such techniques as singing and drumming. "Soyinka probably would like to be recognized most especially as a dramatist and man of the theatre. He implied that much at the opening of his Nobel Prize acceptance speech (dedicated to Nelson Mandela) as he related back to a moment in the past, in his theatrical beginnings, to inform the crucial political situations of the present world order. This recognition would seem to be justified, considering his gamut of plays, but more especially so because in his drama can be located elements of his equally important literary forms..." ( Femi Euba in Postcolonial African Writers , ed. by Pushpa Naidu Parekh and Siga Fatima Jagne, 1998)

Beth Atkin This interview is part of the Institute's "Conversations with History" series, and uses Internet technology to share with the public Berkeley's distinction as a global forum for ideas. Welcome to a Conversation with History. Our guest is Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka. In an extraordinarily prolific and rich body of work including plays, novels, poems, and essays, Professor Soyinka draws on both Yoruba and western culture to exquisitely weave a subtle understanding of the tragedy and comedy of the human condition. As a human rights activist, he has been a courageous voice for justice, freedom, and the end of tyranny. He has risked his life again and again to articulate the moral principles that provide the foundation for human rights, both in his native Nigeria and around the world.

Born in Abeokuta, Nigeria, in 1934, Soyinka studied first at the University College of Ibadan, then at Leeds University in England, where he received his Ph.D. in 1973. Soyinka's literary career began in the experimental theater of the 1950s in England. In 1960 he was commissioned by the Nigerian government to write a play celebrating Nigerian independence. His play, A Dance of the Forests, has been called "a lyrical blend of Western experimentalism and African folk tradition, reflecting a highly original approach to drama." (Professor Paul Brians, Washington State Unversity Department of English) Early plays include The Lion and the Jewel The Trials of Brother Jero (1964), and Madmen and Specialists (1970). Other well-known works include his memoir

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka returns home By Frank Aigbogun Associated Press "Welcome our king, we have been waiting for you," the crowd of about 500 people sang in Yoruba, one of Nigeria’s main languages, as they pressed toward him. Soyinka appeared to try to speak to the crowd, but the noise and tumult made that impossible and he was quickly escorted to a waiting car. Friends said he would go immediately to the family home of Moshood Abiola, the Nigerian opposition leader who died in custody in July. Soyinka was to meet with Abiola’s family, they said. Extra security agents had been dispatched to the airport late Tuesday night because of the writer’s return, and security checks were more pronounced at the airport Wednesday. Soyinka, who fled Nigeria four years ago fearing an attack from the regime of the late dictator, Gen. Sani Abacha, has said he was concerned about his security once he returned to Nigeria. Soyinka recently met in New York with Nigeria’s new military ruler, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar, who urged him to return home. Dr. Yemi Ogunbiyi, a friend of Soyinka’s, said Tuesday that a large airport welcome was being planned for the playwright’s return.
