If you heard serious voices plotting against the World’s Savior, Jesus Christ (from the perspective of Christians), do not be confused.
You are listening to “The before the Sabbath,” Roverman Production’s special account of Good Friday on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show.
For a moment it appeared one was sitting in the National Theatre and watching one of Uncle Ebo Whyte’s classic plays.
Of course it was an Ebo Whyte classic but the venue was a temporary Joy FM studio set up in the Joy FM newsroom.
The story of the betrayal of Jesus Christ was told in a characteristic hilarious Ebo Whyte fashion.
Laced with melodious songs, the performance conveyed with exacting clarity the dialogue preceding the betrayal of Jesus Christ.
The entire story of the crucifixion was compressed and compacted and told seamlessly on the Super Morning Show.
"That miracle worker has been arrested, the traders in the temple who were sacked by that miracle worker are happy and ready to celebrate," one of the actors said.
"I am in the palace of the High Priest and I can confirm that Jesus has been pronounced guilty," Judas reported. In the play, Judas is a reporter filing minute by minute updates to a media house on what is happening to Jesus Christ after his arrest.
A classic story of betrayal, Judas pretends to be sad after Jesus' arrest.
Humour galore!
As is characteristic of Ebo Whyte plays, the performance was not only well produced, but laced with unceasing humour. At the trial of Jesus Christ at the palace of Pontius Pilate, an acute stammerer presiding over the trial and under siege from angry residents of Jerusalem, kept listeners laughing unceasingly.
At some point it was unclear whether this judge is singing or talking.
This hilarious adjudication of the case was preceded by the playing of a series of wrong inserts by the radio station where Judas worked and sent his reports about the fate of Jesus Christ.
The host announced he was taking some updates from Accra. Then came the voice of former Nigerian First Lady, Patience Jonathan, saying 'if pickin (a child) fail exam, them no the repeat am?" This was followed by another funny comment by Mrs Jonathan.
There will be more fun at the National Theatre this weekend when Uncle Ebo's latest play, "The smartest man alive," will run at 4pm and 8pm on Saturday and Sunday.
