'With this fascinating treatise, Woes of the Wolves, aesthetically woven for the delight of all literary enthusiasts; Wellington Nwogu artistically replicates dozens of rampant diverse abysmal quandaries in his homeland as perpetrated by the metaphoric ’wolves’...This presents Nwogu as an unswerving writer whose writings bother so much on social decadences and more.'- Prof. Ozo-mekuri Ndimele, Former Vice Chancellor, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt.'In this literary masterpiece, entitled, Woes of the Wolves, Nwogu effectively wields and reflects realities as he fights against the bane of corruption, impiety, greed and bad influences for the betterment of our society?'- BM Dzukogi, Former National Secretary,Association of Nigerian Authors.'There is something Kafkaesque about the creative works of Wellington Nwogu, especially with the prevailing circumstances surrounding his home country, Nigeria. His writings bring to the fore, different disturbing issues of humanity: issues, such as ravenous and wicked acts of people, among others as epitomized in his Woes of the Wolves, a profound play, written in a more creative manner.'- Chi NDù EfóGò, Author, Oh Son of Dust, Port Harcourt, Nigeria.'Woes of the Woes is a classical and theatrical embodiment of the travails of the perpetually impoverished majority, and the minority (the so-called leaders), who continue to lavish on the frailties of the led. Wellington captures this epic reality in a lucid dramatisation of actions and consequences. Nature is indeed unbeatable!'- Dr. Ebidenyefa Tarila-Nikade, Author, Vulnerable Chronicles.

       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights.

Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
