Abstract
This paper examines the socio-political and revolutionary themes in Esiaba Irobi’s play Hangmen Also Die. The study examines how the play reflects a traumatized society faced with political oppression, economic hardship, and social disintegration. The paper employs a critical analysis of the text, highlighting Irobi’s portrayal of systemic violence, state corruption, and the revolutionary spirit of the oppressed. This paper situates Hangmen Also Die within the broader discourse on postcolonial trauma and resistance. This paper argues that Hangmen Also Die is not just a work of drama but a revolutionary text that challenges the status quo, urging societies to confront their past traumas and reclaim action in the fight for justice.
