A One-Woman Show About Cameroon’s Anglophone Crisis Premieres at the Hollywood Fringe Festival
April 22, 2019
For Immediate Release: April 22, 2019
GHOSTTOWN, a new solo play which tackles the ongoing ‘Anglophone Crisis’ in the central African nation of Cameroon, opens at the Hollywood Fringe Festival on June 8th, 2019. The play explores the conflicting political ideologies which are slowly driving Cameroon to civil war and tells the stories of average citizens who have become casualties; many of whom are now internally displaced or have become refugees in neighboring African countries. While the current political turmoil appears to be centered around Cameroon’s official languages, in reality, it magnifies the far-reaching and at times destructive consequences of colonialism.
“This crisis has had a profound impact on many Cameroonians, yet it hasn’t received nearly enough international attention or media coverage. Part of my goal in doing this play is to raise awareness,” says the writer.
