The playwright noted for humour pack plays did not disappoint as the audience were caught laughing their hearts out from start to end.
The play which seeks to educate patrons on basic first aid treatment and practice left the audience in suspense as they could not predict the next move.
A patient being attended to in the play
Some patrons who expressed satisfaction at the twists and turns told Showbiz they look forward to the next play from Latif.
While others who were not so enthused with the level of suspense said they hope subsequent plays would be “straight forward” with a predictable story line like most plays.
However, director and playwright, Latif Abukakar say the comparison was uncalled for as every playwright had their own style of writing, but was quick to add that he would take the concerns and recommendations in good faith as he seeks to satisfy patrons of his plays.
