| dc.description.abstract | The banality of postmodern drama has given rise to the dynamic level of creativity in dramatic composition, transposition and experimentations of various issues in the society. The approach to such issues abhors not the pretentious manners of modern approach as dramatist deliberately infuses actor's consciousness to live within and outside the dramatisations of drama. This paper therefore studies postmodern ideology in selected works of two Nigerian Playwrights. Through contents analysis methods of research, the study explores various elements of postmodernism within the socio-political reality of Nigeria. It that the term" postmodernism involves a radical re-thinking of representational strategies, and with this, a question of our underlying assumptions about how" meaningsā are produced especially as against the emotional drench of classical and modern dramas. | |
