The Last Spear of Nandi Rerun to Ignite the Stage at Kenya National Theatre

Audiences in Nairobi will once again be transported into a powerful moment of Kenya’s history as The Last Spear of Nandi returns to the stage in a special rerun on Monday, 8 September 2025, at the Kenya National Theatre from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Directed by Derrick Waswa, this compelling historical drama recounts the legendary resistance of Koitalel Arap Samoei, the fearless Nandi seer who dared to stand against the might of the British Empire. Rich with emotion and layered with cultural resonance, the production goes beyond a retelling of history—it brings audiences face-to-face with themes of betrayal, prophecy, and the burden of leadership.

At the heart of the play is Koitalel’s personal struggle: torn between peace and war, tradition and sacrifice. His household becomes a battlefield of its own, as six wives and their sons vie for influence, further testing his resolve. Ultimately, the story underscores a painful truth—that sometimes it is not the enemy’s spear that wounds deepest, but betrayal from within.

Audiences can expect a performance infused with indigenous rhythms, haunting prophecy, and unforgettable stagecraft. The play challenges viewers with a question as old as resistance itself: Would you die for your people?

The Last Spear of Nandi Rerun is not just theatre—it is an awakening, a reminder of Kenya’s indomitable spirit, and a celebration of the power of storytelling to preserve heritage.
