Latif Abubakar to thrill with best of plays

Playwright Latif Abubakar's Globe Productions Limited is set to thrill the public with their best of plays starting from 29th December 2021 to 8th January 2022

Having been on top and staged jaw-dropping plays in the last decade, the playwright said, the growing interest of people and the positive impact of Globe Productions’ stage plays on them has been a motivation to continue churning out hilarious and educative plays.

The award-winning playwright who recently staged the first-ever open-air theatrical play at the Labadi Beach hotel said the shows which will come off at 4 pm and 8 pm on each of the days at the GNAT Hall in Accra are set to thrill the audience like never before.

Starting with ‘Judas and Delilah’ on December 29 and 30, 2021, the play will move on to ‘Something must kill a man’ which will be staged on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd January 2022, and end with ‘Thank God for idiots’ on 7th and 8th January 2022.
