The Prison Graduates
by Efo Kodjo Mawugbe
Broadcast Saturday 28 November 2009 - World Drama
The prize-winning plays from the BBC World Service and British Council International Radio Playwriting Competition 2009 in the English as a second language category.
Described by the judges as "imaginative", "muscular" and "hysterically funny".
The play sees four men try to make their way in the world after being released from prison in Ghana. They explore their many options - only to choose the one that might have surprised them all. A surreal, post-colonial fable.
Starring Daniel Francis (Eastenders; The Hounding of David Oluwale), Richard Pepple (The Estate), David Gyasi (Shooting Dogs), Mo Sesay (Coriolanus at Shakespeare's Globe) and Wale Ojo (Widower's Houses, National Theatre).
