Redemption

by David Mulwa


Redemption is a heart-warming play that centres upon and explores such pressing social issues as hypocrisy, misuse of religious and political power, parental responsibility and the position and role of youth in a world torn with strife. It has been hailed as the play of the decade and a marathon of truth by theatre critics. The non-partisan message of the play comes through loud and clear, that the ageless virtues of ethics, love, tolerance, wisdom, concern for our neighbor, mercy, justice and goodwill towards all men are in fact still a part of the redemptive forces in the society. Redemption was commissioned by the National Council of Churches of Kenya as part of its 50th Anniversary celebrations in November 1989. Since then the play has been performed in Nairobi and in various other parts of the country. A video version of this play is forthcoming. The author, David Mulwa, is a most versatile stage and TV actor and director; a writer of both drama and fiction and a well-known schools and colleges drama festival adjudicator.

INSPIRATION

This is the only book that inspired me while training as a teacher, it has challenge the status quo, and exploitation of the poor by the rich in a comic way, it has also dared to explain the role of religious leaders in a society facing an era of conflict in true and false pastors who are determined to make money from innocent and ignorant followers, consequently it has brutally challenged the society upon damping its people who have been cast in a bad light sue to past mistakes. It has triggered more reflections upon us which I may not be able to conclusively elaborate on this platform, Mulwa has inspired a generation and made his mark in history for using his brilliant skills in writing to chance our perception

Nice work

This book is Soo impressing in such a way that no person can bypass readi it. It's inspirational, educative and motivating trying to sho on how the church has fallen and the multreatment of the liturgical order. It is so embarrassing to see this book being reproduced outside the country in different versions and the originator is just hidden on the malpractices ongoing. The publisher of this book should be barred from reprinting this book and legal framework by the author to be instilled and be paid his dues. No one can fathom this kind of plagiarism since it is copyright protected. Longman publisher should be sued in a court of law and the so called Kisilu Ann be reprimanded and face the law for using someone else's work to feed herself after reprinting the book and selling it very expensive at $52. David Mulwa should be brought to the attention and recall the book and give it to another publisher or even publish it by himself. This is stealing, this is living a lie, the old man who was my lecturer at Kenyatta university should be helped to reap from his work. God help him regain his rights. Am happy and bitter at the same time.
