Ebo Whyte’s love for 4Play

WHAT comes to mind when you hear 4Play. Is it an intriguing feeling? Well, that was the mood of many patrons who watched Roverman Production’s latest play, 4Play at the National Theatre over the weekend.

Clouded with hatred for each other, Will and Tilly, is a divorced couple who haven’t spoken to each other in a decade.

Their estranged relationship takes centre stage when their daughter, Faith, makes a daring move by booking them in the same hotel suite on the eve of her wedding.

What starts as an attempt to mend their relationship turns into a rollercoaster of events, with Faith’s impending marriage being threatened by their differences.

As the play unfolds, tensions run high, and unexpected twists keep the audience on the edge of their seats. The couple's bitter past and unresolved issues come to the forefront, threatening to derail Faith's wedding plans.

But there’s a twist. While Will and Tilly are expecting their prospective son-in-law, it turns out to be hotel’s butler, Jasper, who feigned his identity. 

The play's themes of love, forgiveness, and reconciliation resonate deeply with the audience when Will and Tilly confess that they are still in love with each other. 

Overall, 4Play is a must-watch for anyone who loves good theatre. Uncle Ebo Whyte's masterful storytelling and the cast's outstanding performances make for a truly unforgettable experience.

The storyline's blend of humour and intrigue was engaging as the audience eagerly follow the rollercoaster of twists and turns that keep them laughing, guessing, and thoroughly entertained.

For instance, Tilly, Faith’s mother puts up a sterling performance for her character. Her switch from America accent to a typical Ga woman always had patrons in stiches.

On the other hand, Faith’s energy for her role was low but on the whole, the cast pulled up a good show.

4Play is the 57th addition to Uncle Ebo Whyte's impressive repertoire of plays, which have consistently pushed the boundaries of Ghanaian theatre since he started in 2008.

4Play is the last production for the year after Take Over and I Want to Feed You. 

Not My Husband, The Day Dad Came, Unhappy Wives Confused Husbands, Dear God Comma, Rejected, Dora Why and Blackmail are some of the plays by Uncle Ebo Whyte’s Roverman Production.
