MARGINALIZED VOICES IN NIGERIAN THEATRE

This book examines the representation of marginalized communities, particularly women, in J.P. Clark's The Wives' Revolt. It analyzes how the play addresses gender roles, societal expectations, and women's experiences within Nigerian society, questioning the effectiveness of literature in challenging marginalization. Utilizing a qualitative research approach, the study employs textual analysis and feminist literary theory to explore themes of gender inequality and resistance against patriarchal structures. Through characters and their struggles, Clark highlights issues such as limited economic opportunities and personal freedoms for women. This research aims to enhance understanding of marginalized voices in Nigerian literature and demonstrate how playwrights can advocate for social change and empower these communities.
