Award-winning movie producer cum director, Shirley Frimpong Manso, has cast Kofi Okyere Darko, the popular showbiz icon known as KOD in her new movie, ‘Adams Apples’.

KOD, a heavyweight broadcast journalist at Radio Gold, is an events’ organizer and manages some of Ghana’s best musicians. His role in ‘Adams Apples’ adds another feather in his cap as a guru in Ghana’s showbiz industry.

The movie is produced by Ken Attoh and has a number of celebrated persons in Ghana’s entertainment scene who play different roles in the movie. Among some of them are Anima Misa Amoah, Dzifa Glikpoi, John Dumelo, Adjetey Annag, Yvonne Okoro, Roslyn Ngissah, Kweku Sintim Misa, Joselyn C-Dumas, Naa Ashorkor, Vincent McCuley and a number of others.

The movie follows the lives of the four ‘Adams’ Ghanaian women; the widowed, ex-diplomat’s wife and her three daughters in their early and mid thirties.

They work through domestic struggles, family life and personal battles to achieve success and happiness in a fast changing 21st century Ghana, where love can elude the hopeless romantic, victory can scorn the hardworking and marriage can be an illusion. ‘Adams Apples’ seeks all these and more from life and each other.

Each chapter of ‘Adams Apples’ will open at the cinema every month over a 12-month period. The first chapter will begin with a grand premiere on April 21, 2011 at the National Theatre in Accra and subsequent chapters released consecutively at the Silverbird cinema till February 2012.
