Voices In My Head explores fame and mental health
CHESLIE is a celebrated Gospel musician whose songs of hope and worship have long captured the hearts of many. To the world, she is a household name wrapped in glory. But behind the spotlight, her life unravels in ways that shake the very foundation of her faith.
Her story–Cheslie falls deeply for Pateku, and their romance blossoms before adoring fans on social media. Their affectionate posts, romantic gestures, and picture-perfect chemistry make them the envy of many.
But behind Pateku’s charming smile lies a hidden agenda. His betrayal cuts deep: he marries another woman and, in an act of cruel malice, leaks compromising videos of Cheslie. In an instant, her reputation crumbles.
Cheslie falls into depression, but her ex-boyfriend ROD acronym for ‘Really Outrageously Done,’ becomes her guardian angel, encouraging her to pray for restoration and rebuild her confidence.
The play explores several thought-provoking themes, including mental health, fame, and resilience. It highlights the devil's role in manipulating people's minds and the importance of divine intervention in trying times.
The production also critiques how Christians quickly judge those who fall short of moral standards, with ROD's statement, "Church folks don't accept a fallen saint."
The play’s use of satire and comedy lighten the intensity, with moments like Angel Asiamah portraying an angel, Cynthia Ofori embodying the devil, and witty lines such as “Reverse the first miracle by turning wine into water.”Singing Captain Planet cartoon theme song sends the audience into fits of laughter.
Through Voices in My Head, playwright Uncle Ebo Whyte strongly enforces his Christian beliefs, encouraging patrons to pray for divine intervention in their trying moments.
The play teaches that with faith and support, individuals can overcome even the darkest of times. The story is an adaptation of Ebo Whyte's book The Deal from his Cooperating With the Devil series.
