This short volume, first of its kind, includes three plays by the same author that explore some of the deep-rooted inequalities in certain aspects of Somali tradition, particularly the rarely addressed problems of marginalised social groups. Cartan addresses these issues with enthusiasm for solutions and creates a sense of hope, paying particular attention to social and economic disparity. Issues of inequality are not only a defining characteristic in his productions but also inherent in his character. The author is one of only two living Somalis to specialise in the production of drama on the stage. Aside from his career in theatre, Carten’s activities and talents also extend to the fields of literature and politics. It is his well-rounded knowledge that gives his work the enchanting and engaging flavour which his audiences and readers enjoy.
