‘I Do, I Don’t’ returns for Easter run

Theatre lovers who missed the latest play from Roverman Productions now have another chance to catch it, as I Do, I Don’t makes a return to the stage from Friday, April 3 to Monday, April 6 at the National Theatre.

Written by celebrated playwright Ebo Whyte, the play, staged in partnership with the National Theatre, is a gripping and thought-provoking experience that explores the pressures of modern marriage.

At the centre of the story is Abena Ackon, a strong and principled woman struggling to keep up with the overwhelming expectations placed on her both at work and at home. 

While her professional competence is constantly questioned, her domestic life offers little relief, as she deals with a demanding husband, a difficult mother-in-law and a wavering sense of faith.

The production sheds light on a reality familiar to many Ghanaian women—the pressure to excel in careers while simultaneously being perfect wives and submissive daughters-in-law. 

Through a mix of humour and hard-hitting truths, Uncle Ebo challenges audiences to reflect on the realities behind the vows of marriage.

I Do, I Don’t originally opened on March 27, 28 and 29, but returns this Easter weekend, giving patrons who missed the initial run the opportunity to experience it. 

Supported by Korba, Wakanow and Stanbic Bank, with communications powered by MNotify, the production sets the tone for what promises to be another exciting year for Roverman Productions.
