Morountodun is a play written by Femi Osofisan which reflects the 1965 Agbekoya uprising when poor peasants revolted against the oppressive government. The playwright through flashbacks brought past events into the present to bear on the subject matter which is the evaluation of the contribution of women in nation-building and peacekeeping. The novel is based on the ancient myth of Moremi, the Ife queen who infiltrated the enemy camp to ensure her people's triumph.
