Imobhio, The Three Wise Men, according to Williams, is a Dramatic comedy that
humorously presents the follies of three aged men. He said: “The comedy
satirizes the actions and intents of three elderly men in their mid/late 60’s

After many years of service
in different government parastatals the three aged men are retired and they all
settled in a suburb to enjoy their retirement benefits. How they decide to
spend this retirement money remains highly humorous and dramatic.
