It also looks at the transition of power from PNDC\u2019s JJ. Rawlings through to Atta Mills, John Mahama and eventually to the incumbent president Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n<p>The production beautifully brought Ghana\u2019s history back to life with some great actors and actresses playing back history through drama and a touch of comedy. It was a delight to many patrons who couldn\u2019t help but enjoy the entire scenery as performers wowed them. <\/p>\n<p>The event which came off at the National theatre in Accra Saturday March 4, forms part of activities to mark the country\u2019s Diamond Jubilee celebrations after 60 years of independence.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nTiCIH2NEYU\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 48 updated by: 1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Sunday, 5 March 2017 Source: GhanaWeb 2017-03-05 play videoPerformers taking patrons back in time &#13;
