According to Alayande Stephen T., the Producer of WHISPERS & CEO, TheatreMania Africa Festival (TAF), he said ” Beyond the stage production titled WHISPERS, this is a conscious effort to bring back and re-emphasis the power, beauty, energy and aesthetics that theatre brings to the stage. This powerful stage play depicts and chronicles the current reality of love lust, enmity amongst people. In summary, the play mirrors the cultural dichotomy and beliefs in our society. It speaks to thematic thrusts of love, age long bitterness, generational family feud, unity, perseverance, diligence, powerplay etc. We will be thematically adding a”climate change and plant a tree” campaign initiative as part of the sub-themes”, he postulated.

The play in itself is didactic, entertaining, comical, musical in nature and yet contemporary in terms of its thematic thrust.
