The assumable scenario to cross your mind once you hear his name is that he played a big part in Jesus’ crucifixion, some might even say he was entirely responsible for it, but who is he, really? How was his life before and after the event that would make him one of the most controversial figures in history?
Fifth governor of the Roman province of Judea, serving under Emperor Tiberius, PONTIUS PILATE,had more to him than we know. Amidst his quest to become Senator in the Roman Empire, Pilate is pushed to the wall by the teachings of a young Rabbi whose doctrines, according to the Sanhedrin, threaten to subvert the nation and have also captured the heart of his wife Claudia. As governor, he is inclined to choose between the demands of an angry mob and the life of an innocent man.
From the 6-time nominee at the Kenya Theatre Awards including Theatre Company of the year, CHEMI CHEMI PLAYERS is once again living up to its mantra ‘Transforming lives for Christ,one play at a time’ with it’s new production PILATE, a play filled with pressing topics ranging from marriage struggles, corrupt politics, dysfunctional royal family, and search for truth all of which are starkly relevant to life today.
Dr. Julisa Rowe
Directed by Dr. Julisa Rowe(One in a million)the play stars Justin Mirichii(Shimoni) as Pilate and Joyce Musoke(Spread Your Garment) as Pilate’s wife Claudia alongside Claude Zatara(The Distance Boat), Sam Psenjen(Kings and Leaders), William Mwangi (Crime and Justice),

Tupatane at the 6th Edition of the Kalasha International Television and Film Market.
We enter a theatre auditorium expecting great performances, amazing sets, stunning lights, features that make every theatre experience special. This particular one had all that and something entirely different.
Showcased at the Goethe-Institut on Friday 24th March 2023, ROOTS, a one hander performance produced by Maabara Initiative, written, directed and starring Wanjiku Mwawuganga was a trip down her family tree in historical context which brought us up close and personal with Mwawuganga’s experience with motherhood in connection to her Mother’s (Maitū) and her Grandmother’s (Cūcū) approach to it back in the day.
Mwawuganga also shared the challenges, flaws and lessons learnt during her post partum period.
When I said ‘something entirely different’,this is what I meant; On arrival, photos filled with beautiful moments of Mwawuganga’s life as well as her family’s were handed out to the audience and during the show, some of them were projected and Mwawuganga had a one on one interaction with a few members of the audience describing the moments in the photos.
The props and set symbolized different aspects and people throughout the piece in an undeniably elaborate way, from shukas worn by Mwawuganga symbolizing Maitū and Cūcū, to stunning lights that brought upon different moods in the piece.
I for one feel privileged to have watched the piece and also grateful to Mwawuganga for not only showcasing her personal and insightful journey but also bringing us on board.
