White Days tells the story of a 23-year-old poet navigating love, financial hardship, and the emotional toll, chronic pain, relationship issues, and societal conflicts while living with endometriosis while she and her partner struggle to make ends meet.
Written by Saumu Kombo, Martin Kigondu and Brian Gaitan, the play is staged on May 30 and 31 at the Artzone Studios on Baricho Road by A Frip Entertainment. Sponsored by Awareness Against Human Trafficking (HAART), the organisation informed the audience on how endometriosis and human trafficking are connected.
The play raises awareness about endometriosis and challenges the stigma surrounding menstrual health while exploring themes of fertility, relationships, financial pressure, and emotional vulnerability.
Actor Simi Marie says that her character is soft and optimistic despite the difficult circumstances surrounding her life.
