Chidi Ezegwu writes for the Cultural Relations Collection, bringing together public meaning, art and syncretism through an analysis of Shakespeare’s 'Two Noble Kinsmen' in Nigerian Pidgin English.
This report provides a conceptual and empirical overview of local contexts that translate and creolise Shakespeare.
The findings confirm a greater degree of interest in English plays and a favourable view of the UK after watching 'Love at War'. On the qualitative level, the play also generated debates about the status of language in post-colonial cultural relations.
