Madmen and Specialists is one of Soyinka's most excoriating portrayals of abusers and abused in the new Nigeria ushered in by Biafra. Set in the "surgery" of a doctor, the play is populated by mendicants and the "insane," all fodder for "experimentation" by a shape-shifting doctor whose experiments may be more sinister than they at first appear. "Soyinka's Nobel Prize for Literature is a triumphant affirmation of the universality of this novelist, poet, filmmaker, and political activist."-Guardian
