“#TheSaintinTheDevilsShoes”
by Kobina Ansah is a thought-provoking play that tackles corruption and its far-reaching effects on Ghana’s development. The single actor’s performance is remarkable, bringing to life the struggles of a young graduate and the desperation that can lead to questionable choices.
The play masterfully explores the ripple effects of corruption, showcasing how it can destroy lives and perpetuate a cycle of greed and deceit. The devastating consequences of gambling addiction are also poignantly portrayed, highlighting the vulnerability of those desperate for a way out of their struggles.
The unexpected twist with the actor’s wife, Naa Adoley was stunning, and her confession of killing the Dr and continuing his money laundering business was a chilling reminder that corruption can take many forms. As she accused her husband of being a thief, it was clear that the lines between right and wrong can become blurred. And let’s be real, fear women! They can be just as ruthless!
Kobina Ansah’s direction and the actor’s energy are truly commendable. The play is engaging, informative, and entertaining. If you’re looking for a thought-provoking experience, “#TheSaintinTheDevilsShoes” is a must-watch.
Rating: 5/5 stars Kobina Ansah’s storytelling and the actor’s performance make this play an unforgettable experience. The themes of corruption, gambling, and the complexities of human nature will linger long after the curtain call.
