‘DAYS LIKE DESE’ returns to local TV with COVID theme

Aug 16, 2020 News

GEMS Theatre Productions will be continuing its popular TV sitcom, ‘DAYS LIKE DESE’ from next Friday (August 21, 2020). It is expected that a new episode will be aired weekly on TV stations nationwide.
The sitcom, which was aired on local television for two seasons in 2017 and 2018, will return with a new message, according to its Producer, Gem Madhoo-Nascimento.
“It will now be of 15 minutes duration and its theme will be based on COVID -19, its effects on our daily lives and coping with it, while still being entertaining,” Madhoo-Nascimento revealed in a press release.
Each episode, she explained, will feature two or three actors who will be filmed apart in respect to physical distancing. Filming would also be done mostly in open spaces.
Madhoo-Nascimento will be teaming up with Sean Thompson in scripting the episodes. Thompson will also film and edit the series.
Episode One will feature two of Guyana’s most popular actors, Sonia Yarde and Simone Persaud.
The original ‘DAYS LIKE DESE’ was set in the living room of a mixed Guyanese middle-income family of good standing and moral ethics. There were children, friends, grandparents, uncles, neighbours and cousins of various income levels and living standards. Social cohesion was reflected deeply in the component of the extended family. Issues affecting everyday life, for example, domestic abuse, climate change, recycling, trafficking in persons, conservation of basic every day utilities all played a major role in the series. Education through comedy was its main focus.
Actors were: Mark Kazim, Nathaya Whaul, Simone Dowding, Ron Robinson, Lavonne George, Mark Luke-Edwards, Rajan Tiwari, Simone Persaud, Kirk Jardine, Michael Ignatius, Joel Gansham, Makayah Smith, Safira Abrahim-Williams and Kaylee Liverpool. “We will continue to tell the story of this family. Most of these actors would be retained,” Madhoo-Nascimento assured.
