The play will feature top stage actors like Hafiz Oyetoro(Saka), Yinka Davies, Efe Mayford- Orhorha, Lara Akinsola, Paul Adams, Kunle Dada, Henry and Nissi George. The stage play will debut this July, and will be produced by Thespian Family Theatre and Productions in collaboration with the National Theatre of Ghana and a host of other organisations.
