KSM to showcase hilarious side of Nkrumah showboy

Comedian, KSM

After the overwhelming success of his movie, Double, Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM) returns to the stage in what promises to be his definitive stage performance: Kwame Nkrumah.

KSM gets into character as the first President of Ghana on March 6, 2010, Ghana's 53rd independence anniversary. This high-profile show will take place at the Accra International Conference Centre.

The fascinating thing about the play is that KSM uses his imagination to mould Nkrumah persona. "I have capitalised on the power of creative licence, to depict a side of Kwame Nkrumah that we have never seen before; a dynamic leader with a downright electrifying sense of humour".

KSM's strength is his ability to analyse complex and complicated socio-political issues and break them down into simplified comedic anecdotes to tell a story and that is what he achieves in this work.

The show is set in Nkrumah's living room in Conakry from where he reminisces about his life from his early childhood days, to his days in exile. He is portrayed as a man with an infection with who presents a hilarious interpretation of the events a they occurred in his life.

KSM believes that this performance is going to be the high point of his work on stage. "It is a challenge to play the role of Kwame Nkrumah, but above all, privilege to use the stage celebrate a great African and true Ghanaian.”
