Libretto CoverAFRICAN JIGSAW

An Ecological entertainment

Music by Peter Rose: Lyrics and Narration by Anne Conlon

 

African Jigsaw looks at the problems of urbanisation, its effects on tribal life and the casualties left in its wake. This is a complex problem facing most developing countries and the authors do not pretend the solution is a simple one, but examining the separate pieces of the jigsaw may help young and old alike to come to an understanding of the situation and, perhaps, to draw their own conclusions on its rights and wrongs. Full with memorable tunes, this highly acclaimed work was broadcast on ITV and also won a Ford Conservation Award.
