Grave Encounter: a play

Summary

A play written for a youth audience that addresses myths, facts and issues of HIV/AIDS through comedy, drama and the personification of the disease itself. Though the play is written from a Nigerian perspective for a Nigerian audience, it could be adapted for an international audience as well.

- from the Preface
"The decision to write this piece was borne out of my desire to find a more preferable, youth-friendly option to seminars, lectures and workships on HIV/AIDS, which most youths often avoid for being rather drab and 'preachy'. The vital information on this subject as embedded in this all encompassing drama is aimed...at provoking the attention of the youth first, and then sustaining their interest via moving dramatic performance, songs and dances...

At the end of the play, a question and answer session may be necessary to assess the audience's understanding of the play. Excerpts that directly affect each target audience could also be extracted for performances so long as approval is sought and credit given."
