Play: Wife after death, Aug 12 – 27 2011 @ Professional Centre
Phoenix Players presents: Wife after death- by Eric Chappell directed by Millicent Ogutu.
(Premiering this Friday 12th August, playing until Saturday 27th August 2011)
Comedian and national treasure Dave Thursby has died, and on the day of his funeral, friends and colleagues gather beside his coffin to pay their last respects. There’s Harvey (Sam Psenjen), who wrote Dave’s material; VI, Harvey’s wife (Margret Karanja); Kevin (Harry Ebale), Dave’s agent, and Kevin’s wife Jane (Karimi Njagi). Dave’s glamorous young widow Laura (Angela Mwandanda) has arranged a funeral to remember, complete with a horse-drawn hearse and an attendant dog. An unfamiliar woman who has turned up in flamboyant mourning clothes turns out to be Kay(Carol Irungu), Dave’s ex-wife from before he was famous, and a series of revelations about his dubious past and recent philandering end with Kevin throwing a drink into the coffin and all the guests asking themselves if they ever knew the “real” Dave.

Maisha Yangu is a performance about life in the streets. It is a story depicting a young girl who is forced to live in the streets and how she manages to survive. The actors are 4 children and 2 young adults. The show went on a tour around Sweden from April 7th to May 7th 2011. These children from Dandora, even though they are not professionally trained, have an excellent natural ability to communicate through drama and dance.
As serious as the story sounds, it involves lots of laughs and scenes that urge us to make the lives of street children in Kenya better. The story reminds us that we can’t move forward until we take care of our children.
Written and Directed by Ms Kajsa Dahlstrom – “Mama Kajsa” – actress and president of Globetree, a Swedish NGO. Globetree invited Maisha Yangu to tour Sweden for one month this year and has been invited back for another tour next year.
