Trading Places and other plays

Trading Places is set in Biraidu, a fictitious agrarian rural community. When Omi accepts the challenge to be a woman, 'just for a week', he expected an easy deal, but soon learnt otherwise. His experience exposes the plight of women in rural communities, urging them to rise above gender stereotypes and take their place in leadership. With its distinctive symbol of the 'sealed calabash', Trading Places is a statement about manhood and calls for equality between the men and women.
