Summary
Kenyan theatre, just like most aspects of the performing arts, came to a grinding halt over the past year when the Covid-19 pandemic locked down most folks in their private abodes.
Granted a few groups tried to meet over Zoom, but that never could compare to the ensemble experience of acting and working with others on stage.
But a significant sign that the art’s world is opening up in a remarkable way is the long-overdue reunion of the Mbalemwezi Players.
