Kobina Ansah's "In The Pants Of A Woman" stage play is a full meal to consume. The soothing musical beginning just sets the mood for spectacular expectations.

The issues addressed in the play are relatable and surround our daily happenings, from the top to the last citizen.

The dice rolled with a conversation between a journalist of a radio station and her boss, pitching her findings on the deplorable state of water bodies caused by galamsey. The commendable agenda to tackle such an important matter didn't receive a good reception by the boss. A workplace attitude exhibited by some superiors who fail to have the foresight of an employee's in solving issues of concern.

Oh, the play is endowed with lessons. Lessons that just don't entertain but educate each person to understand how you could be a part of the bigger problem, and the room to change their mindset.

The case of sexual abuse formed a key base for the samples of educative scenes in the excellent display of acts: the case of bosses taking advantage of female employees in a quest to keep their jobs, power-play, irresponsibility, and silencing victims to all extents.

One of such educative scenes was when Dr. Ray, a DJ at the radio station who loosened the issue of rape to the point of noting causes of rape, was quickly attacked by an employee. She educated DJ on how improper his comments sounded and how a person's physique, attire, or identity don't constitute rape.

There are no causes of rape!

Like Dr. Ray, our ignorance of a matter of such magnitude contributes to enlarge the problem rather than solve it, especially when these wrong thoughts are communicated on media platforms.

The traumatising twist is where Miss Darko, fighter for victims of sexual abuse becomes a victim at the hands of her boss, and drowns in depression. Rape doesn't only take advantage of the will and power of victims; it robs them of their mental health and creates a vacuum that either does not heal or takes forever to heal.

This portrays how dense the effects of sexual abuse breaks the 'tough skins'. No skin is too tough to shield such barbaric acts.

Regardless, she still fought for justice for all the victims with the help of the investigative journalist.

The choice and originality of songs and the fact that all songs are new and composed by the playwright are a peak of creativity. The characters and their distinct voices blended and complimented every point of the storyline. The musical touch was splendid!

The lyrics of the song "Upside Down" tackled unemployment and taxes, which connected with the spoken word on a broken system and nation, perfectly delivered intermittently.

I have enjoyed previous productions by the playwright, and I must stay, the consistent skill of serving his audience with educational concepts is commendable. Till we warm the seats again to enjoy the next play, kudos to every single character, and the production team of Scribes Production. To have a rerun after recent shows tells how excellent the production was.

In the pants of a woman is a virtue no man dares break it hinges.
