John Kolosa Kargbo

John Kolosa Kargbo, a Sierra Leonean playwright, poet and teacher, who died in the nineties on a date the sources do not agree on, belongs to the generation that came to the theatre after independence. In 1979, one of his plays was stopped in the middle of a run of performances: the police summoned the company, the Ministry of Information then required its approval for all manuscripts and transferred the author to Bo, where it was thought he would do less harm; the harassment ended by dissolving his company.
