Superb performances by Fleur Du Cap-nominated Bo Petersen and Naledi-nominated Danieyella Rodin are the highlights of White Elephant.
White Elephant is billed as a study of contemporary South African malaise, framed by the story of Issy and Ma: a mother and daughter who each seek, in their own peculiar way, to do the impossible and kindle a future from the dying embers of their past.
This is a debut play-text by novelist David Cornwell, directed by the award-winning Philip Rademeyer. It tells the funny, shocking story of a troubled mother/daughter relationship—two women frustrated by great expectations, and by memories of a life that is beyond their present means.  WHITE ELEPHANT, an urban South African gothic tale is a critical examination of entitlement, a study of decaying decadence and the lengths people will go to protect the last vestiges of their status.
5 Star performances of a toxic, co-dependent mother and daughter relationship! Â Great viewing but the elephant in the room is unredeemingly dark rather than white.
