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.
