‘Christmas in May’ featuring Fred Amugi shows today
Lovers of play will have a memorable day at the Accra International Conference Centre today as Playwright, Latif Abubakar’s Globe Productions, thrills theatre enthusiasts with play at the end of the month.
It shows today, Saturday, May 28 and continues on Sunday, May 29, 2022 at the same place,at 4:00pm and 8:00pm respectively.
The play which aims at educating patrons on issues affecting society will focus on child trafficking and child labour features veteran Ghanaian movie legend, Fred Amugi.
Laced with comedy, music and dance, the play would reveal why Santa Claus is out there when Christmas is actually some seven months away.
Titled “Christmas-In-May,” the play tells the story of four young adults in challenging times who are tricked into an unknown, and their leader gets nabbed. They, however, manage to escape, only to run into another unknown.
When Santa Claus, also known as Father Christmas, makes an appearance way before the Yuletide, then there is something in the soup.
It means something unusual is happening and the play will unravel that mystery.
Mr Abubakar said the growing interest of patrons and the positive impact of his plays on society had motivated the production team to continue with the tri-annual performances and regional tours.
“We hope to touch more lives in the years ahead with an improvement in the quality and hilarity of our plays,” he stated.
The play which is the 69th production of Globe Productions features Jeneral Ntatia , Abraham MacPratt Dadzie, Shelter Say, Bright Kekeli Djangmah and Samira Suhini Farouk.

Kwame Nsiah Apau, widely known as Okyeame Kwame, and the Rap Dacta, celebrated his 50th birthday with the release of a rhythmic reggae tune titled “Clap.”
The song shines a spotlight on applauding those making remarkable contributions to society and encourages people to celebrate the successes of their friends and family.
Just a week after its release, “Clap” has garnered widespread positive reactions from influencers across Ghana, Jamaica, America, South Africa, and other parts of the world.
In one of the reaction videos shared by Okyeame Kwame, renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Richard Nii Armah Quaye, aka RNAQ, expressed his admiration, saying, “Love this song and the lyrics. I want to support its promotion with GHC 100,000. Well done.”
Okyeame Kwame, who had previously promised to build a Paediatric Emergency Ward at Manhyia Hospital in Kumasi before his birthday, would certainly benefit from this generous support for such a meaningful project.
His 50th birthday celebration was a successful all-white event held at +233 Pub and Grill, featuring amazing performances that added to the memorable occasion.
