Exhale: One-woman play revisits US Embassy bombing, post-election violence
A young Njeri (Sylvia Wanja) has been living in Nairobi until the tragic bombing of the US Embassy in the city. Her father, who works at the Ufundi House nearby, loses his job when the building is razed down by the bomb. The family moves to Molo town.
This sets the tone for Exhale, a one-woman play by A Bunch of Idiots. Written by Ngugi Martin and Sylvia Wanja, it is going on stage on June 19 at the Baraza Media Lab in Nakuru.
The play is a semi-fictional story that traces political and national events from the 1998 US Embassy bombing, the Moi regime, and the 2007 to 2008 post-election violence to a few months before the 2027 general elections.
After settling in Molo town, another unfortunate event strikes; their house is destroyed to ashes and her father is killed during the 2007-2008 post-election violence since they come from a different community.
