'Grama Don Do' directed
by fast rising Film and Theatre Director
Austine Lordlaz, is a satirical play
which centers at two levels - The first is between a couple with different backgrounds and cultural orientation and the
other between two intellectuals with different academic background and exposure
. Okoro, the central character is illiterate, but married to Queen, a school
teacher. Andy is Okoro's brother, highly educated in philosophy but jobless. Every character has an area of comparative
strength, but instead of pulling forces together to overcome common challenges,
they prefer to live in turbulence until the Landlord calls them to order and
instills into them some words of wisdom. Between the hilarious dialogues and
grammatical 'bombardments', the play communicates the need for people to
synergize to realize optimum value from their relationships. The rendition
blends the musical form with regular dialogue in diehard comedy that 'serves
another tension-relieving pill to the audience' and helps them to unwind after
the pressures of the day or season.
