About this book
The Marriage of Anansewa Adapting the conventions of Akan story-telling Efua Sutherland has succeeded brilliantly in producing a sparkling and hilarious play. Ananses beautiful daughter Anansewa is his most valuable asset - if he can persuade one of the countrys cheifs to marry her. But what if Anansewa doesnt love the chief? A small problem compared to what will happen if all the chiefs decide they want to marry Anansewa! Part farce part serious social comment The Marriage of Anansewa is a fast-moving story of greed and cunning - with just a hint of youthful romance. Edufa Edufa is an honourable man - but what price has he paid for his wealth and position? In this sombre exploration of the dark side of ambition Efua Sutherland gives a West African twist to Fausts pact with the Devil.
