If you're looking to check off items on your theatre bucket list in 2026, the Kenya National Theatre is a great place to start this January. The historical play Matatu Musical will be showing from Thursday, January 22, to Saturday, January 24.
In the musical, the matatu is a metaphor for Kenya, where the passengers care more about the destination than how it is driven. The matatu reflects systems of leadership and governance from the pre-independence period to the current regime, posing the question: Have we arrived at our destination as a country?
