Uncle Ebo Whyte’s WHAT’S MY NAME premiered

In a seamless, comical, masterpiece, playwright Uncle Ebo Whyte treated Ghana’s migraine of social hypocrisy in his latest drama What’s my name which premiered at the National Theatre, Thursday.

Through the lenses of a witty, young, experienced, crook called Dennis or KD, depending on who is doing the calling, Whyte showed just how our beloved country has been entangled in a dangerous web of deceit, dishonesty corruption and infidelity.

Dennis, in a thoroughly admirable fashion, lied, cheated, impersonated, defrauded, blackmailed and “planted his flower in the flower pots of many women.”

In his deceit, he mended marriages, broke others; brought laughter and anguish to his colleagues. He was loved and hated with equal measure but nobody, not even his boss at Radio Omega or the police woman tasked to investigate and arrest him could dare carry out the order and punish Dennis for his misdeeds because they equally had stinking cobwebs in their cupboards.

Dennis is only a driver ready to pay for his misdeeds; but who is ready to let him pay?

Like the story of Dolly Parton’s Harper Valley widow who was summoned to a PTA meeting by drunkards, infidels, for being a tipsy terrible mother to her teenage girl, What’s my name is another uncle Ebo Whyte classic which got patrons laughing, others crying all the way through.

The stage was crafted with a touch of class, an enthralling spectacle and the dialogue was absolutely side splitting.

What’s my name is a must watch play and will be opened to the public on Saturday June 1 and Sunday June 2 at 4:00pm and 8:00 pm each day. It will be repeated same time; same days the following week.
