Theatrical lovers are being told to brace themselves for a play that will change their concept of obeah.

The play dubbed “Obeah Man” is part of activities to celebrate DOMFESTA in Dominica.

“Obeah Man”, will be staged at the Arawak House of Culture on Friday night and over the weekend.

It is written and directed by Alex Bruno of “Teyat Pawol International.”

“The play makes fun of obeah as a practice. We believe in obeah. There is a lot of trickery and we are exposing them. We are speaking about the ills of evil and we are having a good time speaking about a serious topic,” he said.

Bruno has made it clear that the play does not glorify obeah.

He disclosed that the West Indies cricket team has been invited to the play which starts at 8pm Friday.

    Obeah is alive and well in Dominica. Being an assigned victim who took it on and I am here to tell the tale – Keep your hands clean- God whose son is Jesus Christ is stronger, mightier more powerful than any evil spirit that you would want to send to destroy me and my children. I rebuke you and all your evil deeds I don’t want your package, it’s on its way back to you-Bomerang style. The same hole you dig for others you will fall in it. Plan to kill me guess what? Right back at you honey. Want to destroy my career? Look out! Want to kill my children? Prepare yourself to attend your son’s funeral.It’s not me that said. You started it and God will have the last say. As you sow you will reap. NO weapon formed against me/mine shall prosper. I am sorry for you little girl but you CANNOT keep destroying people. You chose to sell your soul for what? May God have mercy on you. I prayed that you would stop but you just keep doing worse things. Blood sacrifices and all. My blood sacrifice was completed 2000 years ago in the person of Jesus Christ if you have a problem with that talk to Him. I am sorry to dissapoint you I shall live to declare the works of the Lord in the land of the living.Praise Jesus.Hallelujah!
