Abstract
The paper focuses on Wole Soyinka's Beatification of Area Boy: A Lagos Kaleidoscope (1995) and engages the playwright's excursion into multicultural settings where there are issues of disfunction in the postcolonial space. The conclusion of the paper is that Soyinka's association with the hybrid space brings to the fore the a multidimensional approach in the negotiation for utopia in the hybridized postcolonial space
