Thank God For Idiots

 
Tonight at the National Theater in Accra, the most hilarious comedy of the year so far, ‘Thank God For Idiots’, comes off.
NEWS-ONE found the title very odd and therefore decided to speak with the producers about it.
The drama was put together by Globe Productions, the same company that staged ‘Romantic Nonsense’, ‘You May Kiss the Corpse’ and the ‘Gallery of Comedies’, one of the greatest comedies ever produced in Ghana.
According to Globe Productions, the whole idea was to revive the culture of theater in Ghana and make sure Stage Theater becomes a very professional and lucrative venture once again.
The producer, Latifa Bataima Abubakar, explained to NEWS-ONE that “the title is just a creative one to catch attention but actually the production is very professional and worth attending.
No one wants to have idiots in society and we are not praying for that.”
“But truth is many people we consider as idiots in society and actually would not want to listen to them actually have the solutions to our challenges and if we would be just a little tolerant to their views, we would learn a whole lot.
“This is both biblical and Koranic. In this play for instance, you find an idiot who has served so many wise masters that he actually has observed best practices among the wise and he actually says all the wise things and offers the wise solutions but hardly practices them.
This is a high voltage must-see production,” Mr. Abubakar added.
The play talks about a young couple living large because the man has inherited his late brother’s property. Despite all they have, the marriage is on the rocks.
Expressing their emotions towards each other is one big problem. One midnight, in the midst of a very heated argument, they have a visitor.
‘Thank God for Idiots’ addresses the questions on who this visitor is, whether the visitor is  the ghost of his late brother, the purpose of the visit at that ungodly hour and whether this visit  would be good or bad news for the couple.
The drama would be staged twice tonight at the National Theater. The first production is at 5pm and the second one at 8pm. The show also moves to Takoradi on 7^th July and to Kumasi ending of July 2012.
