Fatal Arrest by Kipkogei Kirwa

Description

Fatal Arrest is a play that revolves around the sorry state of African politics. The play is set in Kiringiti, a fictitious African state. The nation is characterised by a barbaric rule and tribal bigotry where ignorant masses are treated to malicious treachery whilst being subjected to dictatorship and weary games of their tribal numbers being used to keep their oppressors ever in power. The tyrannical leaders are ready to wipe out anyone who stands between them and their selfish machinations for power. Though the play is dealing with a political topic, it has cleverly roped in other pertinent thematic issues that ail the contemporary society. Read this fast paced play that mixes humour with heart pounding drama and mouth gaping ironic twists that characterise this ever shocking life.
