• When Ato returns to Ghana from his studies in North America he brings his sophisticated black American wife. But their hopes of a happy marriage and of combining "the sweetness and loveliest things in Africa and America" are soon shown to have been built on an unstable foundation. • "Anowa" is based on an old Ghanaian legend. Anowa is the story of a young woman who decides, against her parents' wishes, to marry the man she loves. After many trials and tribulations the couple amass a fortune but Anowa realises that something, somewhere is wrong. These two witty and perceptive social dramas are sympathetic and honest explorations of the conflicts between the individualism of westernised culture and the social traditions of Africa. Both plays have been performed to audiences throughout the world and reinforce Ama Ata Aidoo’s position as one of the leading creative voices in Africa today.
