Ngugi wa Thiong’o did not live to see this new staging of The Trial of Dedan Kimathi, but he knew it was coming — and he was excited. Kenya’s greatest literary icon had been in conversation with director Stuart Nash about the revival of his revolutionary work.
The product of that thought exchange comes to life on stage at the Kenya National Theatre in an adaptation that will run for eight days, starting June 19, with 12 sold-out shows, culminating on June 27.
