Theatre

8–9 Aug — Gayina’s Pound of Flesh | National Theatre, Accra [Curator’s Choice]: George Quaye’s bold African reimagining of The Merchant of Venice transports Shakespeare’s classic into contemporary Ghana, where a desperate bargain unravels into a gripping courtroom drama of justice, revenge, and mercy. Blending humour, romance and rich Ghanaian cultural nuance, it explores timeless questions of greed, prejudice and the true cost of being human. The set design alone is worth the ticket.
