by with One Comment theater & performances

Phoenix Players presents: the classic story of Romeo and Juliet set in this era of Twitter, FB, Coalitions etc…

The Montague’s and Capulet’s are two feuding families, set on opposing sides of the political landscape- whose children meet and fall in love. Romeo and Juliet know very well that this liaison is not only unacceptable- but is akin to suicide- as the two families make no bones about the sheer hatred they have for each other.

George Mungai adapts and directs one of arguably Shakespeare’s greatest plays, not to be missed!

He has their comings and goings timetabled with such precision that he can drop off his Tanzania Airways girlfriend for her outgoing flight and pick up his inbound Nigeria Airlines on the very same trip to the airport—while his Lufthansa girlfriend is in a holding pattern elsewhere.

With help from his long-suffering housekeeper Bertha — who swaps the appropriate photos and food in and out of the apartment to match the incoming girlfriend—none of the ladies is aware of each other’s presence in the apartment.

They regard Lawrence’s flat as their “home” during their Nairobi’s layovers.
