Meet Nick Mwaluko, Tanzania-born, Kenya-raised, American playwright, journalist and fiction writer. Nick's play Waafrika - the fictional story of an interracial queer lesbian relationship set in 1992 rural Kenya - was recently produced by Fort Lauderdale’s Thinking Cap Theatre. To order and purchase copies of this groundbreaking work, contact Tobe Levin of UnCUT Voices Press at levin@em.uni-frankfurt.de. In this interview, we discuss:
  • what he'll have to do to break in to the US theater scene,
  • how to get away with having gay sex in public in Africa, and
  • why he prefers Scorsese to Tarantino

Trigger warning: discussion of rape and female circumcision
