J.E. Sibi-Okumu is a playwright from Kenya. The socio-political evolution of his country is a constant inspiration for him. Almost all these plays involve music and dance. He also writes prose and poetry and is a regular columnist. He is a Chevalier des Palmes Academiques. On Role Play: “Role Play, which was first performed in 2004, gives us a ‘zoomed out’ perspective of Kenya’s history and society and gives African drama, and posterity, a new point of reference.” - Anne Manyara, The East African.
