Spread your Garment over Me, also subtitled Life in the Bible through women’s eyes (and with its rousing music composed by Christoper Malendoski) was staged two years ago by Chemi Chemi Players. It received laudable reviews, several award nominations, and calls for the musical to be brought back on stage.
Thus, we saw it come back last weekend at Braeburn Theatre Gitanga Road in Nairobi where the show’s executive producer and director Julisa Rowe re-assembled the same seven award-nominated women minus one, Judy Wache, and replaced by Wakio Mwenza. “Otherwise, the script by Gillette Elvgren is essentially the same, apart from a few tweaks here and there,” Julisa told the BDLife on opening night.
