Efo Kodjo Mawugbe

Efo Kodjo Mawugbe's burial 28 October
The late playwright and director of the National
Theatre, Efo Kodjo Mawugbe who passed away at the
Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra last month,
will be buried on Friday, October 28 at the Osu
Cemetery in Accra after a funeral ceremony at the
forecourt of the State House.

A meeting last Monday of the Efo Mawugbe Funeral
Committee, headed by Ms Korkor Amarteifio, a
member of the National Theatre Board revealed that
there will be a wake-keeping from 7:00.p.m to
midnight for the late playwright at the National
Theatre on Thursday, October 27.

The committee further indicated that a non
denominational church service will be held for him
at 9:00.a.m at the National Theatre on Sunday,
October 30.

A member of the committee, renowned choreographer
and dramatist, Prof Nii Yartey said Efo Mawugbe
was a very creative man and a staunch believer in
the power of the arts. The committee’s idea is
therefore to see him off in a way that effectively
embodies drama, music, dance and poetry.

Members of the public can still sign in the book
of condolence opened for the late Efo Mawugbe in
the foyer of the National Theatre.
