Dubbed Judas and Delilah Covid-19 edition, the play seeks to bring together top Ghanaian celebrities to join the campaign in fighting stigmatization towards person infected with the virus.

In an interview, the Playwright said the play would serve as a tool that appeal to the emotions of people to end stigmatization and also encourage them to abide by the measures put in place by the government to aid the fight against the virus.

Growing Numbers

“Considering the growing numbers of theatre and entertainment lovers in Ghana, I am certain that the play would give hope to the people and deal with issues of stigmatization.” He said.

Pacesetters 

As the pacesetters of live virtual play with a record of 3.5million views on social media, the Playwright is of the belief that storytelling and theatre can be used to convey critical messages about COVID-19.
