Echoes of War: Kenya's high school play controversy - BBC Africa
Kenya's national high-school drama competition has been overshadowed by drama of its own after police fired tear gas to disperse a crowd that had gathered to watch a controversial play.
Echoes of War is set in a fictional kingdom where the youth have lost faith in their leaders.
It features battles with the police and has drawn parallels with last year's protests by young people against tax rises.
It was initially disqualified from the drama festival under unclear circumstances, but a High Court ruling overturned the decision and ordered it to be included.
