ImageBureau, April Communications take theatre to Nsawam Prisons
An extraordinary chapter unfolds within the walls of the Nsawam Female Correctional Facility as Imagebureau and April Communications present ‘A Home Beyond the Walls’—a groundbreaking theatre production that delves into the lives, hopes, and resilience of the women within the facility.
This isn’t just a play. It’s a transformative and emotional journey crafted from the lived experiences of these remarkable women, brought to life through the collaborative efforts of April Communications, Image Bureau Limited, and their partners at The Fair Justice Initiative.
Written by the celebrated George Quaye and directed by the acclaimed Naa Ashorkor, “A Home Beyond the Walls” is more than a performance—it’s a heartfelt act of solidarity and a call for empathy. It sheds light on the untold stories of pain, regret, courage, and redemption hidden behind prison walls.
“This project signifies a profound shift in our mission as artists,” said George Quaye. “By stepping away from commercial productions this December, we’ve chosen to prioritize compassion, understanding, and social change. This isn’t about theatre for profit—it’s about theatre with heart.”
The production is a testament to the power of storytelling as a tool for healing and advocacy. It amplifies the voices of women whose stories are often silenced, creating a platform where their struggles, triumphs, and hopes can resonate far beyond the prison walls.
For April Communications and Image Bureau Limited, this initiative is a rediscovery of the arts’ capacity to inspire transformation. It’s a milestone that reminds us of the immense power of giving back.
“Today, we stand not just as theatre professionals but as advocates, lending our craft to a cause that deeply resonates. We are honoured to see these women take the stage, turning their personal stories into a beacon of hope for themselves and society at large,” added Naa Ashorkor.
This theatre-for-development initiative marks a new journey in Ghanaian storytelling—one that bridges the gap between artistry and advocacy, entertainment and empowerment.
Follow the journey of ‘A Home Beyond the Walls’ and join the movement to amplify voices, heal hearts, and build a society that extends compassion and inclusion to everyone.
