The opening scene of 'Picha', a play in Kiswahili, quietens the murmurs from the audience, gripping their attention. The stage lights are turned on, and we see Mwana Kwetu (Suzanne Karani) asleep on a sofa as she is writhing in terror. She lets out a scream.
Her mother, Kanini (Lucy Wache), runs towards her to find out what transpired. Trembling, Mwana Kwetu narrates the nightmare to her mother she has just had of her father, Mkwaju Mrefu (Michael Ndunda), inflicting violence upon her.
