Ìbálé by Esther Adelana is a refreshing yet complex Play about a well- known subject of love and cultural clash. What is unique about the Play is the way the author employed the Yoruba culture and language to vividly bring home to her audience a haunting and delightful book which will be a pleasant addition to African literature'. Dr Wale Okediran Secretary General, Pan African Writers Association, Accra, Ghana. 'Ìbálé is a drama of promise and possibility, an intimation of the difficult journey intersectional struggles against gender inequality, sexual violence, harmless cultural practices and divisive social stratification we will take before we arrive at the signpost of human empowerment in a more inclusive and compassionate moral, social, cultural and political order'. Udenta O Udenta, FANA Professor of Cultural Studies and Creative Writing & Distinguished Fellow, Abuja School of Social & Political Thought
