Introducing museum theatre to Ghana

In this episode I muse with Emmanuel Jewel Peprah Mensah who is a theatre practitioner, researcher, and the current head of the performing arts department at the Centre for National Culture, Ashanti Region, Ghana, West Africa. 
We discuss tourism as an incentive for creating museum theatre, working with a range of different stakeholders (including royalty) and process of interpreting important cultural artefacts such as a linguist staff.
This interview is particularly exciting because historically museum theatre doesn’t have a huge presence in West Africa, but Emmanuel is one of the key people working towards developing a local museum theatre movement to interpret cultural collections at historic sites in Ghana.
