Shakespeare’s classic with a Nairobian twist: Omera gi Juliet

Two and a Mic - The Social Podcast by Zak

Episode notes

A special Valentine’s Day episode offering. Kenyan artist Omish Njash presents his adaptation of the great romantic classic. For the uninitiated this episode is a journey through love, despair, corruption, hate, and more love, and more pain.

Omish presents Romeo and Juliet with a uniquely Nairobian tale, substituting Verona with Kenya’s bustling capital, thrilling us with the undertones of Nairobi’s class system, political machinations, modern generation’s affairs of the heart, and the communication style unique to the Luo and Kikuyu.

As always thank you Omish and break a leg!

Enjoy!
