The play, titled “Games
men play”, is centred on the Black stars of Ghana and their preparations
in Camp in Brazil. It also tries to highlight the many challenges the coach; in
the person of Nana Bediako had to go through in camp in selection of his final
11 players that make up the squad.
Showcasing the rich Ghanaian
culture coupled with that of the Brazilian culture, ace playwright portrays
discipline, unity, love and respect for all teammates at the tournament. He
further portrayed the role of the coach as a guardian, motivator and
inspiration to the team in camp and on the pitch.
According to Uncle Ebo, the play
is dedicated to the Black Stars. “We believe that we can also lift the World
Cup”. The Black Stars should stop doing the
Ghanaian thing; we would try. If they put their minds to it, we can also lift
the World Cup,” he emphasized.
Uncle Ebo further disclosed that
the plays for the year would be repeated in December during the festival of
plays. The festival of plays is a collection of all the four plays Uncle Ebo
showcases during the year in question. This is mostly done in December to give
patrons a chance to watch any of the four plays shown every quarter of the
year.
