Láwuyì Ògúnníran (5 November 1935 – 21 September 2020) was a Nigerian playwright who authored several works in the Yoruba language.[1][2] His play, Eégún Aláré, is a widely acclaimed work, and is a required text for Yorùbá literature classes in many Nigerian secondary schools.[citation needed]
Several academic papers have been dedicated[citation needed] to analysing different issues in his works, including a PhD thesis by Saudat Adebisi Hamzat at the University of Ilorin, entitled A New Historicist Analysis of Selected Plays of Lawuyi Ogunniran and Olu Owolabi.[3] Durotoye Adeleke, a professor of Linguistics and African Languages at the University of Ibadan has also examined the topos of the 'Shakespearean Fool' in Ogunniran's work, alongside three other Yorùbá plays by Adébáyọ̀ Fálétí, Ọláńrewájú Adépọ̀jù and Afọlábí Ọlábímtán.[4] Others have concentrated on exploring the poetics and oratory style that the dramatist deploys in his works.[citation needed]
