Gertrude Webster Kamkwatira (c. 1966 – 2006) was a Malawian playwright, director and actress.
She became director of the Wakhumbata Ensemble Theatre in 1999 after the death of its founder, Du Chisiza.
[3] Kamkwatira wrote about thirteen plays[4] in English, including It's My Fault, which deals with domestic violence and sexual oppression,[5] Jesus' Retrial and Breaking the News, a play about contending with AIDS.
[6][7] In an interview in 2003, she said that she would normally spend one or two days writing a play, then continue working on it for a further three weeks.
Each actor should then read and understand the play as the first step in the rehearsal process.
