Shackles centers on the plight of a waiting couple who due to a delay in having the fruits of the womb, got entangled with an alliance with a spirit husband from the spirit world. The play is about the need for patience and waiting upon the Lord till He shows His mercy and answers the prayers in His own ways and own time. This play harmers the power of spiritual intervention and deliverance from the power of satanic agents and covenant through the ministry of prayer and the word of God.

A Couple's inability to patiently wait for God's timing resulted in an evil alliance with the devil, leading to demonic bondage.
