This years BBC World Service radio play competition had one Ghanaian in the top. Benjamin Kent wrote the play "Funeral Bells" which evolves around the oh-so-common Ghanaian funeral. Loads of people, food and drinks, but often you don't even know the deceased...
Listen to the play here.
In the pic, my mother-in-law and me at a funeral for someone I'd never met, in a village in Central region, Ghana .
