Silent Voices Uganda’s back-to-back production of Lucy Judith Adong’s two plays Holy Maria and Blood will run at the Uganda National Theatre in Kampala on January 27, 28, and 29.

Holy Maria is a 30-minute comedy on the the womanising ways of Pastor John Ssemana (acted by Robert Ernest Bbumba) and addresses the issue of whether motherhood diminishes the sex appeal of women. It explores how men tend to see their wives only as mothers of their children rather than sexual partners.
