[ASU] The Prison Graduates-Today at 7.30pm!!

[Michael Ofori]

This is to let you know that this will be a STAGED READING of the play and
your beloved members are in. The play takes a humorous look at the issues
in post independent Africa. It is funny, witty, thought provoking and will
definitely stir lots of debate. Hope to see you all there

Best,
Michael
