The Diplomats Wife

Hilarious Indo-Kenyan comedy by India’s celebrated writer Shubha Khote and Kenya’s Abuto Eliud 

Diplomat’s wife plots to murder both her “cheating” husband and his “lover”! 

A star-studded cast: Terry (Shiviske Shivisi), the diplomat's wife, plots to murder both her “cheating”  husband and his “lover” after she mistakenly overhears what she believes is a murder plot by husband, Mayanja (played by Melvin Alusa), and his "lover", Molly (Damaris Matunda). 

Terry convinces Hassan (Bilal Mwaura Ng’ang’a), a "pharmacist", to concoct lethal poisonous substances. A series of mistaken identities ensue. The mischievous house help, Bella (Nice Githinji), and Terry’s Mother (May Wairimu), delightfully lift up the story to a crescendo as cover-ups and marital mishaps take root... A series of mistaken identities ensue as a policeman (Maina Olwenya) arrives on the scene to further complicate the situation.

Will the comic chaos settle down long enough for the truth to emerge in this delightfully funny and well-constructed comedy of misunderstandings? This up-roaring comedy will leave you in stitches from beginning to the end. 

By the end of this merry comedy of spiraling chaos of deceit, false identity, manic cover-up and marital mishaps we realize that the complications and confrontations - far from ending - are only just beginning...
