The Dilemma of a Ghost: Preview

When African-American Eulalie marries Ato, the sensitive and intelligent Ghanaian student she meets at university, she dreams that they will be "the sweetest and loveliest things in Africa and America rolled together". But when he brings her to Africa, the ghosts of the slave trade return to haunt the golden couple.

Working with the National Theatre of Ghana, Border Crossings has brought together a world-class cast from two continents - including renowned Ghanaian musician Osei Korankye and Adeline Ama Buabeng, the foremost Ghanaian actress of her generation. Modern beliefs mix uneasily with ancient values in this vital and vibrant production, which uses music, dance and the sheer physical exuberance of Ghana to celebrate 50 years of Ghana's independence and 200 years since the abolition of the slave trade.
