What you need to know:

  • I am in a play which will be going on tour in Nakuru, Kisumu and Mombasa at the end of January and beginning of February.


  • Anyone in those three places should look out for it. It’s a Moliere play called The Miser, produced by Stuart Nash.


  • Locally, I would love to work with Nini Wacera and Wakio Mzenge. I absolutely adore them. I would also love to work with the legendary Raymond Ofula, and also Nick Mutuma.

1. In your latest show, Pepeta, you play Esther, who is a good girl in love with a 'bad boy'. Has this ever happened to you in real life? How did it end? What did you love most about playing Esther?
(Chuckles) I think most women have fallen in love with the quintessential bad boy. I have been there, and of course, it ended! It ended pretty badly. The guy dumped me via text message. His words were, “You will never hear from me again.” It’s funny now when I think about it.
