…Latif Abubakar unveils 20th masterpiece as Globe Productions marks 15 years of theatrical excellence
In a dazzling fusion of culture, comedy and compelling storytelling, celebrated playwright Latif Abubakar is set to unveil his 20th stage play, Ghana Must Go, as part of a grand celebration marking 15 years of Globe Productions, Ghana’s leading force in commercial theatre.
The new play, which premieres on May 24–25, 2025 at the Accra International Conference Centre, is the centrepiece of the much-anticipated Big Push Ghana initiative, a theatre-led investment and tourism drive that will take Ghana’s story to 10 countries, including the US, UK, Canada, Germany, Saudi Arabia and China.
But before the curtains rise abroad, the magic begins in Accra. “This is more than a play. It’s a national voice. A creative revolution. And we’re using it to put Ghana on the global map in a way never done before,” said Latif Abubakar, the man behind some of Ghana’s most iconic theatrical hits.
Ghana Must Go (A story that hits home)
Set in a world many Ghanaians abroad know too well, Ghana Must Go follows the journey of a group of friends — weary of life in the diaspora — who make the bold decision to return home and face an uncertain future. The play dives deep into the complexities of homecoming, opportunity, disillusionment and rediscovery. “A group of friends, weary of life abroad, returns home to Ghana, ready to face an uncertain future and rediscover their roots. How did that end?”
With its sharp humour, emotional depth and socially conscious themes, Ghana Must Go promises not just laughs but reflection — and perhaps, revelation.
15 years. 20 plays. One visionary
From Thank God for Idiots to The Second Coming of Nkrumah, Latif Abubakar has spent over a decade making theatre accessible, educational and entertaining for Ghanaians across all walks of life. Now, on the 15th anniversary of Globe Productions, his production house, Ghana Must Go marks a significant milestone — the 20th play in his career. “This is a celebration of the journey so far,” Latif said. “And a bolder step into the future.”
Theatre meets tourism and investment
But this isn’t just about art for art’s sake. The play anchors the Big Push Ghana — an ambitious, theatre-powered campaign using creative performance to attract over 20,000 high-value investors and tourists globally. Following its Accra premiere, Ghana Must Go will tour cities across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America, combining the show with investment expos and networking events that showcase Ghana’s economy, culture and promise.
