The ‘Side Effects’ of the Phoenix Players starts tomorrow

They are known to come up with some of the funniest and most interesting plays in Kenya. Infact, they are the biggest in that sector of entertainment and tomorrow, they welcome a new play onto their stage.

Side Effects is the latest play from the Phoenix Players among many, and will be showing for the first time tomorrow.

The synopsis of the play goes something like this,

Frank cook ,having being taken ill with a rare complaint, has been booked into a private nursing home by his wife June for a week’s respite. Whilst there, he encounters the reverend Paul Latimer who  is recovering from a heart  transplant  and whose odd behavior is beginning to alarm his wife, Sarah.

The young attractive Tracey might provide the answer. She is convinced that the vicar’s new heart belonged to her recently deceased lover Melvin, a fairground “wall of death” rider. Could it be that  Paul has taken  on Melvin’s personality traits as well as his heart? That again . perhaps he’s just suffering from  the side  of his medication? Frank, ever the cantankerous septic ,  is delighted  by vicar’s fall from grace, while June does her best to rein in his detective work.

The play starts from Friday 5th October till the 20th of October.

Tickets for adults go for Sh. 650 and for students, Sh. 400.
