IN THEATRE

Satire meets local politics in Molière's Kenyan adaptation 'Mgonjwa Mwitu'.

Pulling no punches, this play is full of sass and feminine pulchritude, weaponised brutally and wonderfully against all the evils of patriarchy.

The play will be staged again at Ukumbi Mdogo at the Kenya National Theatre on 3 December.

'Story Sosa' is a collection of stories from five different writers, all lacing to tell of different ideas of home they have grown up with.

'Graveyard Queens' delivers a heartfelt and resonant tribute, bringing the best of a generation of actors together on one stage.

The narrative doesn’t take itself too seriously for the most part, but when it should, it opens itself up and digs deep.

'Watatu' highlights youth radicalisation, religious extremism, xenophobia, economic disparity, corruption and politics at the Kenyan coast.

'Mama’s Mirror' brings a new taste, tackling the very heavy topic of losing a mother in the most unexpected way and time.

Just 'Hamlet' set in Kenya, sprinkled in with the reliable trope of twentieth century African pseudo-activism.

In 'Speak their Names', Silvia Cassini wields her mighty pen to present us a powerful tale set in the summer of 1587 in Triora.
