Cinderama—African Cinderella in Ghana

This modern tale, loosely built on Cinderella, portrays the struggle of a young African girl who is fighting for her rights and equal opportunities.

The production is a collaboration between the National Theatre of Ghana, the National Touring Theater of Sweden and the Swedish Institute.

In cooperation with ActionAid Ghana and Plan International, the play was viewed by over 35,000 children in Ghana during 2010. After each show the audience and personnel from ActionAid discussed the play in relation to the experiences of the children.

In June, 2011 Cinderama—African Cinderella opens in Abuja to kick off a four week tour of Nigeria. The tour is conducted by the Swedish Embassy together with UNICEF, Voluntary Services Overseas and ActionAid Nigeria.
