The theatre group arrested in Centenary Friday for putting on a play about national healing have been released, according to this statement from Rooftop Promotions:

The Rooftop Promotions team of “Rituals” has scored another victory after spending more than 24 hours in police cells between Centenary and Bindura. This is the 3rd time the production has had an encounter with the police and each time we have emerged mentally and spiritually stronger with firmer and unshakeable resolve to stand with our craft.

Enroute from Bindura this evening, we learnt with great joy that Joyce Mpofu, has just won the National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) Best Actress Award for her brilliant performance in “Rituals”. How beautiful it would have been had she been available in person to receive this industry coveted performers prize. Shows resume tomorrow in Glendale and Nzvimbo at 11am and 2pm respectively.
