One Act Play Brings Controversy To The Art Of Relationships
Mybrotha.com, November 2002 by Carmen Edwards

This is the story of a woman who flips the coin... makes up her own rules and learns to live by the manner in which some men do or most men wish they could. As it is in many cultures, men are allowed more than one wife or the honor of having a mistress based upon his economic or social background. In An African Love Story, we see how role reversal and cultural identities define and redefine who we are, and who we want to be... as a woman takes two husbands and redirects her energy and her life focus to a very surprising conclusion. Often funny, sometimes painful, but very truthful..."An African Love Story" by Roxann Latimer opened to mixed reviews at the Ghana Playhouse in Accra Ghana West Africa. "The actors (Kofi Addie, Juliete Tamakloe and Samuel Denu) portrayed the characters with depth, humour and realism. They had the crowd laughing and at many times angry with the truth of the play's storyline." Ghana Sun Times

The mixed reviews didn't come from the acting or the quality of the production but from the storyline itself. "Only an American would make light of this most controversial subject. A woman married to two men, acting like a man and with no shame is an affront to the morals and manners of many African cultures." Ghana Life.
