This marks a significant collaboration between the playwright and the theatre, bringing together Kwirirayi’s fresh perspective and the venue’s commitment to showcasing innovative, locally rooted productions.

It is his first play at the venue.

Kwirirayi, known for his ability to blend sharp social commentary with compelling storytelling, is set to create a narrative that resonates with the experiences and complexities of modern-day Zimbabwe. This production will be the first time Kwirirayi writes specifically for Theatre in the Park, and his fans and theatre-goers alike can look forward to a powerful and unique performance.

“We have always wanted to work with Larry and we are excited to have him writing for us finally” said Theatre in the Park Director Daves Guzha.

“Bringing an original story to an iconic Theatre In The Park is going to be fun, I think,” Kwirirayi said. “I am very curious about how audiences will react to it.”

This production promises to be a significant addition to the cultural landscape, reinforcing the theatre’s role as a hub for meaningful storytelling.

Tickets and additional details about the play’s release will be available closer to the premiere.
