Abstract
The existence of authentic Igbo traditional drama need not be over emphasized, for its validity alongside other black African dramas has long been affirmed by many scholars who perceived African drama as full-fledged drama. Talking about the existence, origin and development of Igbo traditional drama, Ugonna (1979:4) posts that Igbo drama, like ancient Egyptian, Greek, Japanese and Chinese drama, has been of great antiquity. like drama in general, it owes its rise to two aspects of human life, the religious and the mimetic.
