Roverman’s production of Ebo Whyte’s play, Don’t Mess With A Woman was a fantastic end
to a humid Kumasi, Ghana, Christmas Day.
Whyte’s tale of a modern-day woman scorned
was brimming with narrative goodness. The two-hour performance was delivered by
a stellar cast accompanied by a fine house band against a basic but appropriate
backdrop. The culturally-relevant storyline, and punchy dialogue, blended humour
and drama with a moral message, and was perfect for the youthful audience.
The production provided further proof that Ghana is full with theatrical talent, something, I hope, will be developed and recognised in the near future.
Currently doing a residency at the National Theatre, Accra, Roverman’s festival of five Ebo Whyte plays is a must-see for both theatre vets and neophytes alike.
Catch it while you can!
