Award-winning theatre practitioner, writer, director and producer, Tafadzwa Muzondo, said he was currently trying to decide whether to release a new play.
“This is almost the time of the year I release a new full-length production but I am battling with the idea of releasing a new one while the current one, No Voice No Choice, is still banned in Zimbabwe,” he said.
The National Arts Merits Awards 2011 nominee for Outstanding Theatrical Production and regionally acclaimed play was banned in July by the Board of Censors of Zimbabwe after it was deemed “inciteful and against the spirit of national healing and reconciliation”.
The play has already been performed around the Southern African Development Community region and around the country. Performances of the play were, however, banned in some parts of the country, most notably in Masvingo Province by the police who cited security reasons. The intervention of Zimbabwe Human Rights Lawyers saved performances in Masvingo Town, Bikita and Zaka.
No Voice, No Choice is a play about youth leaders from conflicting parties, who decide to speak out against violence in their communities in favour of reconciliation and peace, just as the major principals have spoken out publicly against violence.
