Cut off my Tongues UK Tour

CUT OFF MY TONGUE’S WILL PERFORM AT UK'S HAY FESTIVAL ON THE 27TH MAY, 2009.

cutoffmytongueWritten by Sitawa Namwalie and produced by Storymoja, this play/dramatized poetry rants, sweats, and breaks into song and dance as it explores the truths that shape us as Africans: our beliefs, the way we behave and why. Woven with music and dance, Sitawa’s Namwalie’s dramatised poetry is moving and frighteningly honest. It is politics - and love - that bites as it teases.

 

Cast: Sitawa Namwalie, Muthoni Garland, Alice Karunditu, Amimo Olembo, Chichi Seii, Shan Bartley, Ogutu Muraya, Grand Masese, Henry Anyanga.

Formerly

The formerly

Mrs. Western Sudan


She divorced herself

Against her husband’s will


And for a while

Went by her childhood name

Darfur


But the old husband

With weak objections

From the community

Married her off

To Mr. Crisis


And now

We all call her

Darfur Crisis


She mourns with

Two million

Internally displaced

Voices


Seeking refuge on

Refrains of Rwanda


And longs for a

Home-land

Of her own

 

Ngugi Wa Thiong’o among contenders for 2009 Booker Prize

Ngugi Wa Thiong’o  is among this year's contenders for The Man Booker International Prize for achievement in fiction. Others on the list are shown below.
I would expect that Wa Thiong’o will stay on that list every year until he wins it...or fate intervenes. Indeed Wa Thiong’o is whispered to be among the very few considered for the Nobel Prize for Fiction.
