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.

The festival of plays is a collection of all the four plays Uncle Ebo showcases during the year in question.
