Batuki Music Society proudly presents A reading of new works by playwright Kwame Stephens EXPLORING MANHOOD |
||
|
The reading… What is manhood all about? Does it have to do with a physical state of being or behaviour? Is it something that can be learnt or are we born with « manhood »? Playwright Kwame Stephens explores these and other questions in the following three one-act stage plays that will be read. |

« Dance Again » is the story of John who is single at 40 years old. Everyone seems to think they know why he’s single. « Pier 21 Cafe » is set in Nova Scotia where Mutuku is celebrating two years of being in a relationship with Yvonne. He however seems distracted. « Kofi’s Lessons » is about the new student from Ghana to Toronto. There are certain things that he can only learn in life. The playwright… Kwame Stephens is a Toronto based playwright, poet and writer. Prior to having his first feature length play Man 2 Man produced from 2010 to 2012, Kwame’s work was published extensively in Canada and English speaking Africa. Kwame continues to write stage plays, poetry, short stories, novels and more. |
