Eddie Nettey and Foster<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It has been the talk of the town over the last few weeks and the \u2018Gallery of Comedies\u2019 play will eventually touch down at the National Theatre at 4.00pm today, July 23,\u00a0with a repeat run at 8.00pm.<\/p>\n

It will be on again at the same times tomorrow, July 24.<\/p>\n

\u2018Gallery of Comedies\u2019 is the result of an attempt by the Globe Company, headed by Latif Abubakari Batalima, to inject some verve into stage comedy in this country.<\/p>\n

The play, created by the Nyansapo theatre collective, came out tops in a call for scripts by the Globe Company and it will be staged by the Globe Theatre Group.<\/p>\n

Though funny in all respects, \u2018Gallery of Comedies\u2019 touches on pertinent issues in contemporary society. Matters such as the proliferation of churches, accommodation crisis, romantic entanglements of young people and the desire for better formal education are all given ludicrous treatment.
The Globe Theatre Group is a collection of young and brilliant actors such as\u00a0Eddie Nartey and Foster Owusu-Amponsah. Both are graduates of the School of Performing Arts,\u00a0University of Ghana, Legon.<\/p>\n

The play is set in a church and a school established by Professor Chibere, with the aim of promoting socio-economic development. Some of his students, a bunch of young men, however begin to admire his daughter and that sets them on a collision course with the professor, who incidentally has a big skeleton in his cupboard.<\/p>\n

The Globe Theatre Group used to be known as TLG and it performed the \u2018Romantic Nonsense\u2019<\/em> and \u2018Kiss the Corpse\u2019<\/em> plays written by\u00a0Nii Commey.<\/p>\n

The \u2018Gallery of Comedies\u2019 production by the Globe Company is in\u00a0partnership with Joy FM and GTV. It is sponsored by rLG Communication.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
