Overview

The Morning of Masks: The Investigator's Chronicle A Secret So Deep, Even the Culprit Doubts His Guilt In a kingdom where silence is sacred, one girl's disappearance unmasks a truth too heavy to hide. When Morinàtùbẹ vanishes without a trace, whispers stir in Ìlọró, a village bound by ancient rituals and deadly silence. Behind the masks of tradition lies a haunting question: Who is truly protected and who is quietly sacrificed? Into this world steps Asher, the Investigator armed not with weapons, but with piercing questions and a relentless hunger for truth. As drums echo through sacred forests and ancestral spirits stir, he discovers that the culprits are not only men in power, but also the silence that shields them. This poetic stage drama weaves Afro-mysticism, theatre, and social truth into a breathtaking narrative where: ✨ Trees remember what humans forget ✨ A talking drum carries the heartbeat of justice ✨ Masks conceal both guilt and survival ✨ And silence itself stands trial Blending Yoruba spirituality, dramatic tension, and lyrical storytelling, The Morning of Masks is both performance and prophecya story to be read, staged, taught, and remembered. Why Readers Love This Book: ✔ A powerful Afrocentric mystery drama that speaks to today's conversations on abuse, justice, and healing ✔ Rich with cultural symbolism, ancestral wisdom, and theatrical depth ✔ Ideal for educators, performers, activists, and lovers of poetic, socially-conscious theatre This is not just a play.
