Performed in English (original Shakespeare text) and Chichewa (with surtitles). Performers from the UK and Malawi with original music by Ben Mankhamba and Frederick Rich. Tour of the UK funded by Arts Council England and Africa Express.

Performed at Ovalhouse Theatre's Southern Africa Theatre Festival. A collaboration between Bilimankhwe International Theatre (UK) and Nanzikambe Theatre Arts (Malawi). Using the story and poetry of Jack Mapanje we explored his experience as a political prisoner in the time of the dictator, Hastings Kamuzu Banda.

An adaptation of Jack Mapanje's prison memoir. Incorporating Mapanje’s searing poetry and using both traditional and modern Malawian music, this is a life-affirming play; filled with rage, despair, horror and of course, hope.
