Kobina Ansah fills National Theatre with ‘The Boy Called A Girl’

For ardent patrons of Scribe Productions’ stage plays, it was yet another moment to relish as they headed the National Theatre in their numbers with some first-timers doing same to perhaps satisfy their curiosity.

The National Theatre last Saturday was undoubtedly the place to be as the thousands that thronged the venue for ‘The Boy Called A Girl’ testified it was really good value for money.

‘The Boy Called A Girl’ written and directed by Kobina Ansah is a beautiful piece that artistically touches on how a lot of people try to cover up their addictions by publicly condemning those same addictions. The eleven-cast musical stage play was themed on parental negligence, sexual abuse and confused identity.

It revolves around Pastor Ronny Armah whose desperation to have a daughter led him into naming his only son “Ewura”.
