John Ruganda (30 May 1941 to 8 December 2007) was Uganda's best known playwright. Beyond his work as a playwright, Ruganda was also a professor at University of North, South Africa, University of Nairobi, and Makerere University. He was born in Fort Portal and died in Uganda's capital Kampala. Ruganda's plays "reflect the reality of the East African sociopolitical situation after independence." He was considered a shaping force of East African theater. The Burdens (1972) and The Floods (1980) have become a regular part of curriculum in literature classes.
