Strangers & Revelarions
Performing Arts
Strangers & Revelations is an award-winning Zimbabwean stage play written by Chiedza Rwodzi and directed by Matthew Kissa. Presented by Osiyana Studios (Zimbabwe). In August 2025, the play premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it received critical acclaim. It won the IC Award at Edinburgh Fringe 2025 and earned a 5-star review through The Indiependent. The play was featured in The Edinburgh Fest Magazine, Binge Fringe Magazine and Zimbabwe Daily News. The play has also recently been nominated for an Off West End Award in the UK. Blending intimate storytelling, spirituality, African mythology, and contemporary social issues, Strangers & Revelations places Zimbabwean voices at the centre of the global stage with honesty and depth. Through the IC Award the play will tour around China later this year. But before then the play returns to home soil before it tours. https://www.thespotlight.co.zw/scripts/cgiip.exe/WService=emawsbroker/2026/mainpage.html
