‘Anowa’ by Ama Ata Aidoo

Cast: 4 female, 4 male, 2 any gender

Anowa is based on a traditional Ghanaian tale of a daughter who rejects suitors proposed by her parents, and marries a stranger who ultimately is revealed as the Devil in disguise. The play has a unique trait whereby a couple, an old man and an old woman, take on the role of the Chorus. They present themselves at crucial points in the play and give their own views on the events in the play.
