PRESS RELEASE
BACKSLIDER (Part 2)
'OH HAPPY DAYS
A Play By Devon Morgan
Devon Morgan has penned the sequel to his popular gospel musical Backslider, 'Oh Happy Days, featuring top recording artistes Maizie Williams from Boney M fame, leading an exciting and talented cast of popular singers and actors.
This controversial yet conscious story looks at how a young Christian couple, (played by Denzle McDonald and Toyin Adekale) copes with the pressures of marriage, anti-natal depression, temptation and the lures of todays world-. It also focus on the constant battle of the wayward daughter (played by Yvette Rochester-Duncan of television Real McKoy and Blouse & Skirt fame) of the local pastor and his wife (powerfully played by Jamaican actor Tony Walters and Maizie Williams from Boney M). A constant duel between father and daughter, a mom who always sees another side of the saga, and a happy go lucky neighbour (played by Lovena Brown) entwines the mode of this hilarious and exciting production.
Oh Happy Days has a richly blend of humour and seriousness, and takes you to a realistic situation, faced by many of us who either grew up in the church or have a religious belief. Commitment, spirituality, god fearing and enjoying gods words is seen wholeheartedly as the plot thickens to heart rendering gospel music directed by Colin Anderson, Musical Director and gospel sang in opera, with movements by top Jamaican gospel choreographer H. Patten.
Backslider Part 2 'Oh Happy Days will see touching dramatically moments blend delicately with hilarious comedy, as the Christianity religion comes alive. This is a play for the whole family.
