Rock of God centres on a significant war that Nso fought with Bamoun in the 1880s, and which war resulted in a devastating defeat for the Bamouns.During this war, a major Nso combat rule was broken: the Sultan (king) of Bamoun was decapitated.Both local story tellers and historians have indicated that the Sultan was only supposed to be captured alive.The play explores some very compelling reasons for this violation.It mocks any attempt at categorization because the events involved are as historically relevant as they are anthropologically profound; as literarily dense as they are linguistically compelling.It surely stands on its own because it clearly combines concepts of docu-drama, morality play, classical theatre, historical drama, and much more.But beyond all else, it is great artistry that demonstrates the genius of experimentation.
