\u201cAs pacesetters of virtual live play on COVID-19 with a record 3.5 million live views, as well as staging Ghana\u2019s first open air theatre, our dreams of projecting Ghana\u2019s theatre industry beyond our country and continent is becoming a reality with the launch of this play,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Head of Mission at the Embassy, Mr. Diego Spottorno, who was present at the launch, added that the collaboration was a beautiful thing as it is \u201cthe first time Ghana and Spain are collaborating on theatre.\u201d<\/p>\n
