dc.description.abstractThis paper beams the light on three societies - Norway, America, and Nigeria - and discovers dysfunctions that needed the intervention of dramatists, to which Henrik Ibsen, Arthur Miller and Ahmed Yerima responded appropriately. Using the descriptive methodology, we discovered the Norway of Ibsen hypocritical with a lot of socio-political ambivalence, Miller's America is characterised by fantasy, shabby lies, new dreams, and exploitative capitalist ideology, while Yerima's society is bedeviled by prolonged military rule, resulting in unfair treatment in revenue sharing, agitation for resource control, high level of youth unemployment and contention over political power. The paper therefore concludes that if dysfunction must be corrected a rounded critical approach to societal malaise must be of great essence to dramatists.
