The play, Labake Isale Edo, is history recaptured in literary creativity. The play seeks to establish the importance of love and choice in marriage. It highlights the importance of moral values and virtues, which our society today have thrown away at the expense of self. Our actions, says the wise, are seeds, good or bad - with its attendant repercussions. Broken trust and hasty decision have its consequences. This is what has thrown a dark cloud over Labake, until love cleared the skies, and then her sun rises one more time. The play is a good attempt at establishing the Lagos of old and its cultural values.
