Award winning Ghanaian filmmaker Shirley Frimpong-Manso steps into the spotlight — not behind the camera, but at the helm of a live stage production. The celebrated director is making her much-anticipated theatre directorial debut with the romantic dramedy Honeymoon Hotel, presented by the trailblazing Africa Arts Network.
Adapted from an original script by Stephen Yaw Oppong, this sizzling new stage play will take over the National Theatre in Accra from June 20th to 22nd, 2025 and trust us, this is one show you won’t want to miss.
Honeymoon Hotel boasts an all-star lineup that reads like a who’s who of Ghanaian film and theatre. The dazzling cast includes Joselyn Dumas, James Gardiner, Ama K. Abebrese, Godwin Namboh, Andrew Tandoh-Adote, Gadede Segbefia, David Dontoh, Jasmine Baroudi, Amanda Jissih, and other top-tier talents ready to light up the stage.
Set in an opulent hotel built to celebrate eternal love, this witty, emotionally-charged play uncovers what happens when romantic ideals meet real-life chaos. As couples arrive some with secrets, others seeking a fresh start the hotel staff juggle their own tangled relationships, resulting in laugh-out-loud moments, touching revelations, and a delicious blend of comedy and drama.
Themes of love, betrayal, commitment, and second chances collide in this fresh and fast-paced production that’s as entertaining as it is relatable.
Making the leap from screen to stage, Shirley Frimpong-Manso is ready to shake up Ghanaian theatre.
“Theatre is raw, immediate, and alive in a way that’s so different from film,” Shirley Frimpong-Manso shared. “I’m incredibly excited to be making my theatre debut it’s been a thrilling journey working with this phenomenal cast and rediscovering storytelling in its purest form. Honeymoon Hotel is hilarious, dramatic, and full of surprises. We can’t wait to share it with the world!”
The production marks another bold step by Africa Arts Network, the creative force behind hits like In the Chest of a Woman and You Play Me, I Play You. Founder Kofi Adinkra sees Honeymoon Hotel not just as a production, but a movement.
“Bringing someone of Shirley’s calibre to live theatre elevates the entire industry. This show is about artistic excellence and crossover innovation. It’s going to break barriers, attract new audiences, and reestablish theatre as a commercially powerful platform for Ghanaian storytelling.”
