Multi-award winning South African playwright Neil Coppen’s TIN BUCKET DRUM produced by IMBEWU Trust, finally comes to Cape Town at the Kalk Bay Theatre, after garnering praise internationally and nationally.
Written and designed by Coppen (in his early twenties) and directed by fellow Durbanite Karen Logan, TIN BUCKET DRUM has been described as a whimsical allegory which weaves together elements of magical realism, shadow puppetry, Kabuki theatre and live percussion. Coppen’s play follows the story of Nomvula, a spirited child born with a revolutionary heart-beat into a cruel and silent dictatorship. Over the last decade the play has racked up several major awards at festivals and theatres throughout the country.
