Hard Ground is a powerful and psychological wrenching tale that draws on the sad history of the Niger Delta as well as its contemporary, real-life political drama. It also gives us the occasional but telling glimpse into the pathos of personal relationships and the drawn-out psychological suffering of its most vulnerable characters... But above all this, what the play effectively presents, as the valuable lesson of this war is the impact of the crisis on private lives...
