New act: See theatre in a unique way

Playwright Adipo Sidang engages audience after Parliament of Owls reading

At the Goethe-Institut auditorium in Nairobi on March 21, a stage was been set in a simple manner. On several occasions, actors take seats placed in the middle of the auditorium, and the audience envelops them.

For this evening, the actors sit in a collection of seats at the front, facing the audience. The actors each open a book with a microphone in hand, and they begin reading, embodying the characters in the play in their fullness.
