That is the question which will be answered this Saturday when Waz Arts Theatre premieres it’s new production Rev Bolamoyo at Golden Peacock in Lilongwe.
The social media has gone into an overdrive as it has quickly related the title of the play to Bagamoyo, a Tanzanian coastal town as referred to by Catholic bishops in their recent pastoral letter.
But in an interview Production Manager Anthony Masamba said Bolamoyo is just one of the characters in the play who has no connection to Bagamoyo.
He, however, said the play is a commentary on the political landscape.
“We want to deliver a performance that will remind all theatre lovers that theatre is still alive in Malawi. The idea is to achieve the impact we desire with the message in the play,” he said.
The play is written by Suzgo Chitete and directed by Jeremiah Mwaungulu.
Other members of the cast include Francis Chimalizeni, Mary Chilongo, Blessings Suya and Jacqueline Ndlovu.
