Ngugi wrote this powerful condemnation of politics and society in postcolonial Kenya while he was detained in prison in 1977.  He was jailed by then Vice President of Kenya Daniel arap Moi because of the hard hitting message of his play Ngaahika Ndeenda (I Will Marry When I Want). While detained he wrote Devil on the Cross on prison-issued toilet paper.

Synopsis of the Play
Jacinta Warringa is an unemployed single mother fleeing Nairobi after a failed relationship and after being fired by her boss because she would not accept his sexual advances.  Riding through the countryside at night by bus on her way to her hometown, she meets a peculiar band of strangers, all of whom are headed to a feast in a cave of all places; a feast being held in honour of the greatest Thieves and Robbers in the town.  Jacinta, despite her fears, attends this feast and there meets a fate some would find hard to believe.
