Taking to social media, Nice Githinji thanked everyone who showed up for the preview.
“Last night we hosted some of the most incredible minds in this city at the @shortsfromafrica #graveyardqueenspreview at @ihub_nairobi. A conversation after the show revealed so much about ageism in society. Within and without our borders.
“This play is so timely within that context especially because mature people have been presented in such a vibrant way. They love. They dance. They feel the need to be seen, touched, and desired. #graveyardqueens will completely change your perception of growing older.....you'll cherish it and look forward to it. Thank you all so much to all of you who graced us with your company. Thank you for sharing your insights.,’ Nice Githinji shared.
