Drum: Online

PRESENTED BY OUR DAY AND OMNIBUS THEATRE

Thrown together by lives built far from home, two rising Ghanaian creatives grapple with success and identity.

"A civilization flourishes when men plant trees under which they themselves never sit.

What you need to understand is, Ghana is home."

As the afternoon sun hits BBC Broadcasting House in London, photographer James Barnor meets broadcaster Mike Eghan for the very first time. Thrown together by lives built far from home, the two rising Ghanaian creatives must manoeuvre through their perception of identity, success, assimilation and home. 

This joyful and poignant fiction fuses storytelling, music and dance with archival material to capture a unique snapshot of London in the swinging sixties. 

DRUM is a brand-new play from award-nominated writer Jacob Roberts Mensah(DEM TIMES, Our Day) and Sarah Amankwah (recent acting credits include Lion King, West End; Black Earth Rising, Netflix; Henry V, Shakespeare's Globe) making her directorial debut. 

The production premiered as part of Omnibus Theatre's Autumn Season 2022, to critical acclaim and sell-out show. Now audiences have the chance to catch the show again, from the comfort of their own homes, in this recording with the original cast. 

Access details will be sent to the email address you used to book within 24 hours of the performance, in addition to your booking confirmation which is immediate. Only one ticket is required per device.
