Seven Years in Servitude Before a Restorer

“Seven Years in Servitude Before a Restorer” relates to issues of kidnapping, killing and abuse of communal leadership which have left the masses in terror, fear and desolation. This down-to-earth play is then a political satire through which the playwright uses as a narrative lens to capture the cruelties and brutal acts of the leaders over the led. Prince Nicholas, a leading terrorist, has his men who are depraved and corrupt, subjecting people into unwanted slavery. No one dares to question them because the prince is in power and thinks he can use it to get what he wants until death creeps in laying his icy hand on the king, and then a new king is chosen to restore the lost peace in the land.
