MULTIMEDIA production house, Early Entertainment, will this Saturday bring their first game-changing theatrical play, Voices in My Head, to life at the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Bulawayo.

Written and directed by Elliot Moyo (23), the witty play is set to introduce a new cast in its fine blend of veterans and young blood.
Produced by award-winning filmmaker, Mhle Nzima, the play is a collaboration of technical designers for set construction and musicians for live soundtracks.
The play follows the story of Mandy, an outwardly-normal young wife, but with a split personality, who is haunted by her father’s abandonment of her mother.
“Mandy lives trapped in a state of constant fear, which her husband, Mtha, helplessly falls victim to. With her marriage on the line, Mandy and her ever-warring personalities must strike a balance before their world crumbles around them,” Nzima said.
Moyo brought together a cast and crew of youthful industry professionals and students to breathe life into his groundbreaking idea.

The play was produced with the assistance of the National Gallery of Zimbabwe and Alliance Française de Bulawayo. Production started in early September.
“The subject matter is something that everyone has experienced at one point or another in their lives: insecurity. Stemming from the writer’s brushes with friends and family afflicted with broken families, the subject became a matter of personal interest which he felt needed to be explored and addressed,” he said.
Nzima described the story as a well-researched and well-crafted portrayal of a post-modern relationship capturing all that the insecure heart fears and desires.
Tickets are available in advance at the gallery at $3. The show will run for one night.
