My Wife-In-Law on social media

After successfully producing stage play series, This Family Is Not For Sale Season 1 & 2  and recently, I Want To Sue God!,  one of Ghana’s young playwrights, Kobina Ansah,  is back again with another play set to sweep theatre lovers off their feet once again.

Kobina Ansah is set to launch his latest three-cast play, My Wife-In-Law!, on the various social media platforms, beginning with Facebook  with the hashtag #MyWifeInLaw on Sunday, May 15, 2016 at 7pm. 

Updates will be running on Instagram and Twitter at the same time.

The social media event will feature a discussion segment where theatre lovers will talk about how open a relationship/marriage should be and how far one can discuss issues therein with others. 

My Wife-In-Law tells the story of a couple who face marital issues like every other married persons. However, the wife, Baaba, discusses hers with everyone, even to the point of her issues being spoken about in sermons in church. 

She invites her divorcee mother who is “bitter than bitter leaves” and can “snatch husbands at the speed of light” to help solve these marital problems. Would the mother-in-law actually help? Would the marriage be the same again?

For answers to these questions and more, theatre lovers would have to watch  My Wife-In-Law, a play produced by Scribe Productions which is tagged “Marriage is for two… not three!”, and teaches that whatever happens in a home should stay there.

On why the use of the social media to launch the play, Kobina Ansah said, “We want to leverage on the power of social media. We want to effectively use it as a tool to communicate our values and, more especially, expectations of our current piece,” he explained.
