Tawiah M'Carthy, Brad Cook

Maanomaa, My Brother

A Co-Production between Blue Bird Theatre Collective and Canadian Stage

Co-created by Tawiah M'Carthy and Brad Cook with Anne-Marie Donovan


When childhood friends Kwame and Will reunite in Ghana for the funeral of a loved one, they realize just how much has changed since the events that separated them 25 years earlier.

 As they struggle with the urge to keep stories from the past buried and the desire to connect, resurfaced memories set them on a journey to discover a truth that neither of them expected. Blending together styles of West African and Canadian theatre, Maanomaa mixes myth with reality, and the past with the present.

Please note this performance is located at 26 Berkeley Street Theatre, Upstairs Theatre. This theatre is not wheelchair accessible, and requires 2 flights of stairs. Please contact the box office if you have any questions or concerns.
