Description
Ato Yawson returns to Ghana after studying in the United States, bringing with him a Black American wife whose presence immediately unsettles the expectations of home. In this domestic satire, everyday life becomes a battleground of language, manners, and belonging as cultural assumptions collide inside the most intimate spaces. With sharp wit and theatrical immediacy, the play examines identity, diaspora experience, and the complicated meanings of “home” when love is tested by differing histories and social norms. Ama Ata Aidoo’s distinctive, incisive style turns personal conflict into a broader commentary on postcolonial modernity and the tensions that arise when two worlds meet at the dinner table.
