Bangali-Swedish poet and playwright Anisur Rahman has written the play, "I am Sheikh Mujib," an epic monologue on Bangabandhu's life and works, a press release said. Internationally well-known Kenyan theatre academic, theatre director and poet Dr Christopher Okemwa is directing the play along with two other plays by the same author as part of the theatre course program at his university. Students of theatre at Kisii University will study and research on Anisur's three plays that include "I am Sheikh Mujib," "Dawit Isaak," and "Minister & Wolf." Recently a leading theatre in Kathmandu called the One World Theatre has premiered the play in Nepalese and English language. The epic monologue has previously been presented at different theatres and universities, including Jahangirnagar University, Lund University, Wiks folkhögskola, and University of Wales Trinity Saint David, in Asia and Europe in diverse languages.
