• Edufa – A Play

    “Ask the town. They know who Edufa is and what he’s worth. They can count you out my value in the houses that eat because I live. They rise in deference from their chairs when they say my name. And can a man allow himself to lose grip on that?”

    Edufa’s obsession with maintaining his position of privilege leads him to barter his wife’s life against loss of prestige.

    Efua T. Sutherland did a great deal to encourage the theatre in Ghana. She began the Ghana Experimental Theatre and the Ghana Drama Studio, and wrote many plays for adults and children, including The Marriage of Anansewa.

  • Tahinta: A Rhythm Play for Children (Audiobook)

    First published as Tahinta! and Vulture Vulture! Two Rhythm Plays for Children by Efua T. Sutherland, the audiobook edition illustrated by Edmund Opare is an irresistible invitation to join the young narrator as he moves the story along with the encouragement of the chorus.

    The children of Mmofra Foundation’s Language Club perform the audiobook version, featuring Nii Noi Osuteye as the boy, Maria Bossman as the father, and a group of Language Club members as the chorus.

    The Adehyeman Group provides the percussive beat which carries the story.

    About the Book

    Tahinta is a story with a beat. It is about a boy went fishing in the River Birim. He set his fish-trap in the water. He cast his net but when he drew it out, it was empty. He began to look unhappy. But just when he was getting ready to go home, something came walking across the river. You will find out what it was.
