It was a robust year at the theatre front, witnessing plenty of theatre works on stages across the country despite the decline in the economy.
Prevail Presents, a theatre production company, garnered the Best Director and Best Producer (Martin Kigondu), Best Playwright (Dr Fred Mbogo), and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Lead Role (Justin Mirichii) at this year's Kenya Theatre Awards for the play "They That Have Missing Marks Shall Not Graduate".
At Alliance Française Nairobi, Braeburn Theatre, and in hotels in Nanyuki, the Prevail Presents put on a production, Sanctuary, a sci-fi romance play set in 2050.
At Ukumbi Mdogo at the Kenya Cultural Centre, they staged a poetry concept show, "Womine" (the word derived from the words 'woman' and 'mine'), that speaks against gender-based violence and femicide. "Womine" will be on stage again at Braeburn on December 12.
