Every home has a story. Every silence has a cost.
Moira Makena
Stories of courage, silence, memory and the search for truth.
Where untold stories find their voice.
A world where stories uncover hidden truths, explore human emotions, and question the meaning of freedom.Through powerful characters and unforgettable journeys, Moira’s work explores love, identity, silence, courage, and the choices that shape our lives.This is a space where history, humanity, and imagination come together to reveal the stories waiting to be heard.
Stories That Challenge, Inspire, and Endure
Every story begins with a question.
What happens when tradition collides with modern life? When silence speaks louder than words? When ordinary people are forced to make extraordinary choices?
These are the questions that inspire my writing.
As a playwright, I believe theatre has the power to entertain, provoke thought, and spark meaningful conversations. My plays are rooted in authentic experiences, exploring themes that resonate across cultures while remaining deeply connected to African realities.
Whether you’re a theatre enthusiast, director, producer, student, or fellow writer, I invite you to discover stories crafted to leave a lasting impression.

A collection of reflections from readers
“Moira has written something that stopped me in my breath and filled me with an
immense pride that is difficult to put into words. The Three Wives of Mr. Kinuthia is a
brave, brilliant, and necessary play, one that looks unflinchingly at power, silence, and
what it truly costs a woman to be free.

A gripping, quietly devastating drama about three women navigating power, silence, and
survival under one roof. Moira draws her characters with extraordinary depth – each one
carries the weight of the play equally, and none of them are easily forgotten. This is bold,
necessary theatre

The Three Wives of Mr. Kinuthia really touched my heart, as I have experienced, on a
personal level, several of the issues it strives to depict, notably: domestic violence, pregnancy
loss, infidelity, and psychological abuse. I am certain many women will resonate with it.
