Grit (play)
Grit is a 2023 family saga play written by Nigerian playwright Obari Gomba published in 2023.[1] It won the 2023 Nigeria Prize for Literature.[2]
Nzube Nlebedim in a review for Brittle Paper called it magnificent and multifaceted, praising Gomba's didactic prose.[1] Lindsay Barrett in Leadership described it as "a cautionary tale in which the reader or the onlooker is being alerted to the resilience and determined existence of GRIT as a quality of life. ... a wholesome commentary on Nigeria's contemporary political circumstance."[3]
