The whole idea about stereotyping women begins at the maternity ward when the midwife declares \u2018you have a baby girl.\u2019 All men begin to jubilate because another sex machine has been manufactured\u2019.<\/p>\n
The Easter and May Day celebrations seemed to have eclipsed the usual euphoria that comes with the mother\u2019s day celebrations, but thanks to Witty Playwright Nii Commey, who is motherly inclined that he is ready with another fresh stage masterpiece for mothers at the forthcoming International Women\u2019s Fair.<\/p>\n
The writer is set to cause another funny uproar plop the seat of his audience once again in his characteristic display of humour in dialogues and actions in three nights of comedy flavour, which has been described by the writer as \u2018Strictly for women; compulsory for men in partnership with the international women\u2019s fair is set to provide Ghanaian mothers undiluted dose of laughter this mother\u2019s day at the national theatre when his very latest stage comedy, Mummy\u2019s Dimples and Pimples starts showing on the eve of mother\u2019s day, and then continues on the mother\u2019s day itself.<\/p>\n
Specifically written in honour of the African woman, Mummy\u2019s Dimples And Pimples is a play about womanhood and motherhood. Having watched the rehearsals, the play gives new definition to theatre in Ghana.<\/p>\n
Set in a simple widow\u2019s house as well as the corridors of a tyrant male chauvinist, the play explores the day-to-day vicissitudes women go through, especially in the hands of chauvinistic men. The play creates a platform to discuss the sensitive issues that have unbridled the role of the woman in contemporary society, and how it has metamorphosed over the years.<\/p>\n
Jane, who is a prey to the prangs and predators of domestic violence, is still holding on to her marriage, humbling cuddling her philandering, Casanova husband who drinks the wine of chauvinism and breaks the bread of women stereotyping, all in the name of \u2018For Better For Worst shackle\u2019 she find herself in.<\/p>\n
Another reason for holding on to the marriage is her concern about the future of her children, and how she dreads seeing them become victims of a broken home.<\/p>\n
So what motivated Jane to suddenly rise up, to put an end to the \u2018My Lord, My Lord\u2019 disorder, and declare that she\u2019s contesting for Member of Parliament, defying the fumes and fury that will generate from the heart of her husband if he hears that?<\/p>\n
The paramount role of the freshest widow in town, Mamaa cannot be ruled our, as her house serves as a haven for most of this daily drama.<\/p>\n
As a single parent, she also has daily challenges in raising two strong boys, as she tries to forget about the death of her husband. She goes through these challenges daily, while trying to solve her son\u2019s delinquency dilemma, as well as carrying the cross of Jane, her friend.<\/p>\n
Each scene of the play is charaterised by fast beat of humour and drama, interspersed with Nii Commey\u2019s excellent witty construction of dialogues. It is mother\u2019s day, and the national theatre should be the official venue for all mothers even as we celebrate this august occasion which coincides with the second International Women\u2019s Fair at the National Theatre. This is the first time in Ghana Mothers\u2019 Day will be celebrated with this new form of edutainment, Strictly for women, and compulsory for men.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
