Plays on controversial political environments and governance, which once ruled theatres, are rare today.  A Country Funeral (Uganda), is one of the latest creations that take the audience on a journey of reflection on leadership, society and generational conflict. Written by Brenda Nakyejjwe Tendo, and directed by Brenda Ibarah, the play's live reading debut was recently hosted by Ndere Cultural Centre in Kampala, Uganda, as part of the 2022 Kampala International Theatre Festival (KITF). Starring Bryan Byamukama, Eronie Bazongere and Keith Victor Muganza, the play introduces us to three characters — Jacob, David and Anna — and revolves around the preparation for the burial of Jacob's wife Kirabo, the country's first lady, and wife to Jacob, the President.
