Macbeth Theatre Review
The play Macbeth, directed by Arthur Dignam and Robert Menzies, was unique from other interpretations of the well-known Shakespeare play ‘Macbeth’, as the main characters were performed by women, and one of the ‘Weird Sisters’ was performed by the male director, Arthur Dignam.

African Literature
Literature is yet another genre that Africa’s intellectual elites struggle to elucidate coherence for dissemination and consumption to ingrain within viable institutions. Modern African literature is considered a byproduct as well as an explicit goal engineered at the Berlin Conference (1884-5) by the imperialist nations of Europe.
