Ghanaian Legends David Dontoh and Fred Amugi Star in Revival of Ama Ata Aidoo’s “The Dilemma of a Ghost”
Fiifi Coleman Productions brings timeless classic to the National Theatre on June 6 with six shows in three days.
Ghana’s finest production firm, Fiifi Coleman Productions is proud to announce the return of one of Ghana’s most powerful plays, ‘The Dilemma of a Ghost’ by Ama Ata Aidoo, to the stage.
The production opens on Friday, June 6, 2025, at the National Theatre of Ghana, with six performances spread across the weekend.
The show features an all-star cast, led by two of Ghana’s most respected actors, David Dontoh and Fred Amugi.
They’re joined by well-known names like Adjetey Anang, Gadede Segbefia, and Fiifi Coleman, who also directs the production.
This is a story that still speaks to realities of today.
Originally written in 1965, The Dilemma of a Ghost tells the story of Ato, a young Ghanaian man who returns home after studying abroad—with his African American wife, Eulalie.
The couple soon finds themselves caught between two worlds: the
expectations of Ato’s traditional Ghanaian family and the modern values they bring with them.
“This story feels just as relevant today,” says director Fiifi Coleman. “It’s about identity, family, culture, and finding your place in the world—things we’re all still figuring out in Ghana and across the African diaspora.”
The play’s themes reflect ongoing conversations in Ghana, especially as more people from the diaspora visit or return to reconnect with their roots.
It also touches on important issues like gender roles, family pressure, and cultural misunderstandings
—making it a must-see for audiences young and old.
A cast full of experience and talent
With David Dontoh and Fred Amugi leading the way, this production promises to be both moving and memorable.
Their decades of experience bring deep emotion to the story’s family struggles. Adjetey Anang and Roselyn Ngissah round out the cast, bringing charm, power, and authenticity to their roles.
