Stage Design
The success of Amos Tutuola's 'Palmwine Drinkard' owes a little bit of credit to the effort of Nwoko. His inventive creations helped organize the choreography and direction of the play and brought to life the themes of Tutuola in every act of the play. His body of stage design and direction which started at Ibadan includes, Wole Soyinka's A Dance of the Forests, Brecht's Der Kaukasische Kreidekreis (The Caucasian Chalk Circle), and the Mbari Theatre production of John Pepper Clark's The Masquerade.

Famous quotes containing the words stage and/or design:
“Even the most incompetent English actor, coming on the stage briefly to announce the presence below of Lord and Lady Ditherege, gives forth a sound so soft and dulcet as almost to be a bar of music. But sometimes that is all there is. The words are lost in the graceful sweep of the notes.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“What but design of darkness to appall?—
If design govern in a thing so small.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
