The eighth edition of the Kenya International Theatre Festival (KITFEST) is nearly upon us and it is bound to be bigger, better, more festive and flavourful than in years past. That is because it has already signed up more than a dozen global, regional and national theatre troupes who will be performing from October 31 to November 21.
They will be coming from Ireland, Italy, Finland, Germany, Holland, and Switzerland as well as from India, Malawi, Nigeria, South Africa, and Tanzania. And from Kenya, there will be groups coming from around the country as well as some of the best productions seen in recent times, with most of them scripted by Kenyans themselves.
