Broken Pots

". . . His place who can take And set the pace For water drawers to follow To the stream that breaks pots And if the gods delight in broken Pots and Song Who can sing the song of Broken Pots?. . . This rhetorical question sets the stage for the tragic drama that ensues. The reigns of the princes, Usuaimaha and Ekong was expected to usher in peace between the feuding kingdoms of Obioitiat and Obioidim. But in ironical twist, their deaths at the points of ascending the thrones rather turned out to be the precursor of the peace. Were their lives taken in exchange for the peace? What went wrong? In this intriguing story of friendship, ambition, and power, the struggles of the princes against the awesome forces of fate are aptly captured as they drive the play to a historic ending.
