What is the author's style in Death and the King's Horsemen by Wole Soyinka?

Wole Soyinka divides his play "Death and the King's Horseman" into five chronological scenes. Each scene focuses chiefly around a specific event or incident. Scene 1, for example, focuses on Elesin's preparations for death, whereas Scene 2 focuses on the British reaction to the impending suicide. This straightforward structure is necessary for Soyinka, who contends the play should be acted out in one long continuous movement, without any breaks at all between scenes.
