Masvingo’s Charles Austin Theatre will on Friday (October 18) perform a theatre play titled ‘Tuku naDazzie’ written by Theatre Director Mhlauli Mlalazi.
The play, inspired by late legendary musician Oliver Mutukudzi’s family debacle that spilled into the media over the past few weeks, was directed by actor and veteran writer Tichamupei Comfort Chivore.
Speaking to TellZim News, Mlalazi said Tuku na Dazzie was an intriguing two man play which will feature actor and poet Millicent Chapwanya and Partson ‘Uncle Santa’ Nyahura’
“Tuku na Dazzie is a two-men play which will be acted by Nyahura (Uncle Santa) featuring Chapwanya and is directed by Chivore.
Mlalazi said he wrote the play some time ago but could not find a suitable name for it until he came across musician Selmor Mutukudzi’s song ‘Kugara namainini’ online, which seemed to have been inspired by the late music maestro’s daughters’ upbringing.
“I wrote this play the first time and struggled to get a suitable name until I came across Selmor Mtukudzi’s recent song Kugara namainini on social media.
“So I am inviting everyone to come, enjoy and see what’s happening on ‘Tuku na Dazzie’ at Charles Austin on Friday.
“The performance will start at 1830hours, ending at 2000hours and the gate fee is USD$2 per person. Tickets are now available at Charles Austin theatre,” said Mlalazi.
