Mwapangira told NewsDay last week that the play, produced by Daves Guzha of Rooftop Promotions, was centred on issues of gender-based violence.
“This play focuses more on the gender perspectives that characterise male and female relationships and how this tends to shape relationships in a domestic set-up,” he said.
Mwapangira said he was ecstatic to be bringing his play to the public and promised theatre lovers a top-class performance.
“I am really excited, as this is the first play I am bringing to Theatre in the Park that has my unique style labelled as ‘holy theatre’ and the audience should expect a totally different feel of theatre, where they are engaged and they are transformed to a different realm altogether,” he said.

Through the play, Mwapangira and team were looking forward to hooking the attention of civic society with a special interest in gender issues.
Mwapangira is a beneficiary of the Wits University Drama for Life programme and a former assistant lecturer in the Theatre Arts Department at the University of Zimbabwe.
He has worked on various theatrical productions that address gender imbalances that include The Sun Will Rise Again.
