After more than three decades in the audio-visual industry, Gitura-Kamau is well-acquainted with the spotlight. He is often described as “one of the most versatile actors of his generation.” His career encompasses film, television, and theater, earning him recognition as both a performer and a storyteller.
I have always been drawn to stories that whisper before they roar,” he reflects. “Stories that reveal the silences between us.”
Though Gitura-Kamau is widely celebrated for his work in film, he has also directed and produced for the screen. However, it is theatre—the medium where his journey began—that is calling him back today. With his latest production, Tea with My Father, he is reimagining the stage as a space for urgent and socially relevant storytelling.
At the core of this new work lies a question that feels both personal and collective: what does it mean to be a man in a society where traditional roles are increasingly diminished or unarticulated?
Men often suffer in silence,” he says. “I want to create spaces where those silences are confronted, where fathers and sons can finally sit at the same table.”
Tea with My Father is, in his own words, “a quiet storm—gentle in its arrival, but leaving nothing untouched.” The play challenges audiences to reflect on generational divides, masculinity, and the unspoken conversations that shape family life.
As Gitura-Kamau returns to the stage, his work continues to blur the lines between personal creativity and social politics, reminding audiences of theatre’s enduring power to provoke, heal, and transform.
