Uhuru

by Gloria Majule

Mshale, a Mount Kilimanjaro tour guide, dreams of marrying a white woman and moving to the West. Sprite doesn’t like white people and sets out to decolonize what he deems “his mountain”. Henry and Frannie are white missionaries who claim to be Tanzanian. Uhuru is a dramedy that follows this unlikely foursome, as they journey together to the roof of Africa.

    A stunning play about white saviorism and not knowing where you are truly from. These characters are so well-written. I need to see this play produced. Would love to see what a set designer can do with a piece like this. I was very moved by Sprite's journey throughout the play.
