Prison Chronicles Wole Oguntokun

Prison Chronicles is the story of Cell Block B and its four prisoners alongside the Cell Warder and his wife also known as the first lady. In Block B which its inmates fondly call Heartbreak Hotel, the lives of the jailer and the jailed are more interwoven than its ruling class cares to admit to. This play, a metaphor for many developing countries and their class systems humorously depicts the struggle between the strata of society, a struggle in which sometimes the underdog wins.
