“When the Cat’s Away” is the hilarious tale of Mildred, a long-suffering, frustrated wife, planning a second honeymoon to Zanzibar with her blundering husband George. When her frigid sister Ethel appears, having left her philandering spouse Humphrey, who is having an affair with his secretary, the bubbly Jennifer, the sisters decide to go on the trip together without the men. But Jennifer won’t go out with Humphrey because her dowdy and depressed roommate Shirley is suicidal and insists on bringing her along. So Humphrey blackmails George into double-dating, just as a baggage handlers strike causes the ladies’ flight to be cancelled. Then things start to get complicated. Of course, the wives, Mildred and Ethel, make an early–and unexpected–return home. And that’s when the fun really starts!
This humorous play is directed by Mbeki Mwalimu and is produced by Abuto Eliud. The comedy stars Ummul Rajab (SHIRLEY), Derrick Amunga (HUMPHREY), Juma Williams (GEORGE), Ciku Mburu (MILDRED), Nduta M’mbogori (JENNIFER), Veronica Waceke (ETHEL).
