All the Things That Could Go Wrong On Your Birthday: Phoenix Stages Another Thrilling Play

Between the 14th and 29th of September, theatre fans will be treated to a thrilling play at the Professional Centre on Parliament Road staged by Phoenix players.

George Mungai directs the Marc Camaletti written play which stars Jack Gitonga, Maggy Karanja, Maina Olwenya (Nairobi Half Life), Shiviske Shivisi and Lizz Njagah.

Synopsis: “Bernard has foolishly asked his mistress, Brigit, to his home on her birthday despite the fact his wife Jacqueline is present. He has also invited his oldest friend, Robert and asks him to pretend Brigit is his mistress.

Robert refuses as he is having an affair with Jacqueline, but Bernard cunningly involves him anyway. By chance, a temporary maid engaged for the evening arrives when Jacqueline and Bernard are out and her name is also Brigit.

Robert mistakes her for Bernard’s girlfriend. Frantic complications in which identities, plots and counter plots and bedrooms are exchanged with ever increasing confusion transpire until an unexpected ending makes everyone happy including the maid who has acquired a mink coat and lots of money.”

Entrance to the show is Kshs. 650 for adults and Kshs. 400 for students. The play is sponsored by Nick Creations, NTV and Capital FM.
