Entertainment in Ghana has often targeted able-bodied people. There is little or no inclusivity as far as the disabled are concerned.
This is one narrative playwright Kobina Ansah is changing with his stage plays.
In the playwright’s last play, Emergency Wedding, there was a deaf interpreter to interpret the play to people with hearing impairment. His team, in addition, freely admitted students from Mampong School of the Deaf, Ghana.
Kobina Ansah’s classic romantic comedy, I WANT TO SUE GOD!, is going a step further to freely admit visually impaired students/staff of Akropong School of the Blind, Ghana.
Speaking on how intentional and consistent he has been about including the disabled in entertainment, he said, “I could have been born blind or deaf. It is only a privilege to make life more enjoyable for those who were unfortunately born as such.”
I WANT TO SUE GOD! shows on Satuurday, March 5th and Sunday, March 6th at National Theater at 3pm and 7pm on each day.
