5. Vienyeji Pro Max: A Kenyan Satire with French Flair
This weekend, Alliance Française Nairobi becomes the stage for a theatrical masterpiece as Gadwill Odhiambo reimagines Molière’s 17th-century French comedy Les Précieuses Ridicules with a deliciously Kenyan twist.
Vienyeji Pro Max, showing May 17th and 18th, transforms the classic satire on social pretension into a sharp, laugh-out-loud commentary on modern Nairobi’s obsession with status, clout, and “keeping up appearances.”
The play follows two young women from the village who arrive in the city determined to reinvent themselves as “high-class” urbanites—only to hilariously fumble through their quest for sophistication. With witty dialogue, exaggerated egos, and a plot full of disguises and comeuppance, Odhiambo’s adaptation brilliantly mirrors today’s social media-driven facades and the timeless folly of chasing false prestige.
Whether you’re a theatre buff, a Molière admirer, or just craving a night of smart humor and cultural relevance, this production promises an unforgettable experience. Best of all? Entry is free with prior registration, so secure your spot and witness this bold blend of French classicism and Kenyan cheek.
