It is from there that other theatre groups (such as the Makerere Free Travelling Theatre of the 1960s) got inspiration, leading to the development of a fully-fledged local theatre movement in the country. He was also the pioneer native writer of radio and TV drama in Uganda in the late 1950s.[3][4] Early life and educationKiyingi was born to Ernest Kaggwe in 1929. He went to King's College Budo. During pre-independence Uganda, colonial governor Andrew Cohen granted him a scholarship to study drama at Bristol University from where he further polished his skills at Oxford University in London.[5] WritingHe wrote more than ten books that have been widely translated and many directed into plays and others adopted into both the secondary and university syllabi. Some of his Luganda plays include; Gwosussa Emmwanyi, Lozio Bba Ssesiriya, Olugendo lw'e Gologoosa, Muduuma Kwe Kwaffe, Ssempala bba mukyala Ssempala and the radio play Wókulira, which ran on the then Radio Uganda for close to two decades.[6] Published works
