11. Thursday theatre

The series introduced to us some distinguished characters who told the Ghanaian story with a touch of dexterity and a sense of pride. Augustine Abbey, better known as Idikoko, and other producers contributed immensely to sustain the art. I have good memories of some of the episodes and relish them with excitement. And those were the moments when the Ghana movie industry was booming.
