David Mulwa wrote ‘Redemption’ for NCCK back in 1989. We haven’t seen it staged since, until last week at Kenya Cultural Centre when Kenyatta University students performed a version of it under the direction of Emmanuel Shikuku.
By honouring one of Kenya’s greatest playwright in this way, Dr Shikuku and his lively cast were also paying tribute to one of the country’s greatest actors and KU professors.
