Black Mamba: A Play

Rate this book
Black Mamba is a biting but amusing satire about an intimate, yet intriguing relationship involving a university professor and his mistress, in a plot schemed by the professor and his mistress, in a plot schemed by the professor's houseboy. The play exposes the private life of the professor and, in a dramatic finale, the curtain drops on the shocked professor upon the revelation of the true identity of his mistress.

Entertaining play that captures life in the 70's. Still relevant for today.

i love this play book
its show that some men in the world can give out
thier wives for money just. not considering love.
giving out your wife to another man can not bring back
the wealth u had.
