Kesho Amahoro - Peace Tomorrow - Celebrating the Triumph of the Human Spirit

Kesho Amahoro is a true story, based on the personal experiences of the Playwright (Lizzie Jago) and brought to life by the magical songs of the Composer and Musical Director (Anna Rusbatch). The story is set in the Rwandan refugee camps of Northern Tanzania in 1994 and it follows the young refugee Esperance, and her siblings, as they struggle to survive. They meet with the resilient Kasulu kids, Rwandan refugee children, with no parents, who have formed themselves into a tight-knit gang.  Together they face incredible setbacks and deep heartache, but through it all they still manage to look positively to the future.

This play is dedicated to refugees all over the world, who, despite their horrific experiences and dire conditions, are still the strongest, most uplifting people that I have ever met. ​May we all, with them, believe in Peace, tomorrow.
