Renowned playwright Uncle Ebo Whyte has an unquestionable reputation for 'breaking' taboos and being a daredevil who demonstrates an uncanny ability to satirise the most difficult subjects of our society. For years now, he has dazzled theatre enthusiasts with world-class plays which undoubtedly continue to leave indelible marks on the minds and hearts of the hundreds who fill the National Theatre each time his quarterly plays are staged. Sins of the Fathers, Life is Some Way, He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, The Day Dad Came, and Unhappy Wives, Confused Husbands, are but a few of his iconic productions. His latest work, Trials of the Ghanaian captures the life and attempts of Ghana’s satirist Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM) who came to Ghana as a returnee after studying and working in the USA hoping to change some attitude of Ghanaians. The play, in a beautifully woven language, laced with exceptional comedy exemplified the negative but pervasive attitude of the average Ghanaian - the kind of attitude you exhibit and counter on a daily basis. Just like KSM, Uncle Ebo disclosed in an interview with Myjoyonline.com that he is nursing the idea of doing a play about the life and exploits of former President Jerry John Rawlings. “I would wish I could do a play on former President J.J Rawlings,” he disclosed confidently adding, the ex-President, “is one of the most interesting characters that Ghana has ever seen, not just interesting, significant personality that Ghana has been blessed with.” While this is achievable, the Food for Thought presenter on Joy 99.7FM noted that, unlike KSM who is a close friend of his, “a lot of times, a lot of Ghanaians are not too comfortable with you doing their story so it is difficult.”
