SIR—I am not writing to defend Bundibugyo Ntuuha Drama Performers’ presentation at the 20th Bagamoyo Arts Festival in September. Rather to express my surprise at the tone of Mr Elvis Basudde Kyeyune's article on Bundibugyo Drama Performers that appeared in The New Vision of Thursday October 18 (p. 29) The article was entitled “When it was hard being Ugandan”. It left me wondering whether some ungodly muse slipped in and soiled Basudde’s article and general repute as a seasoned theatre critic in Uganda. I attended the Bagamoyo festival; but I would rate Ntuuha better than Basudde. Dr Mercy Mirembe Ntangaare Department of Music, Dance and Drama Makerere University
