me Marley & I

by Yaw Asiyama

Youthful idealism and honest toil; first love, respect and family ties . . .

Human failings, arrogance and ultimate betrayal . . .

Against a backdrop of political struggle, a military coup and armed revolution, a young Ghanaian boy sets out to conquer the world and his pubescent emotions, armed only with an overwhelming passion for Bob Marley and the wisdom of his grandmother.

'The crab never gives birth to an eagle'

'No matter how hard you boil the water, it always cools down.'

This play brings to life a different time in a different culture with great friendships, courage and sacrifice.  Gloriously funny and warm, this true story jolts sharply into focus with the horror of living through an African revolution.

'Many more will have to suffer, many more will have to die,          .   
Don't ask me why  -  Things are not the way they used to be,
                         I won't tell no lie . . .'    
Natural Mystic, Bob Marley


'Brilliant  -   I was spellbound from start to finish'
   Bob Adams


'An emotional roller-coaster  -   I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Now i feel i really know who you are. Thank you'
   Nadia St Clements


"I had spent so much of my life trying (about) to forget the revolution. Thank you for making me remember again. beneath all the brutality, there was a humanity too"
  Joseph Acquah
