On Friday 9 – Women’s Day – and on Saturday 8 you can manage to line up all 3 plays in their 15:00 18:00 and 20:15 time slots!
Nancy is a play directed by Abduraghmaan Adams and comments on the South African /universal gay experience. It raises themes such as friendship, homophobia, hate crimes, HIV and AIDS through the lives of three central characters. The play features Riaan Visman, Peter Treurnicht, Jill Levenberg,Brian Robson, Isgak Stemmet and Eddie Newman.
In The Wings is an original play written and directed by Jared Kruger, featuring Bo Petersen, Danieyella Rodin, Madele Vermaak and Jaques de Silva, choreographed and co-directed by Nicola Elliott and produced by The Chaeli Campaign. The play is a coming of age story of two sisters and while one has cerebral palsy, it is by no means a sad or sentimental story. It tells the story of two sisters as they battle to work past their limitations to create the future the rest of the world sometimes fails to see. With its witty humour, relevant and poignant subject matter, In The Wings is a production that will challenge, entertain and linger in the hearts and minds of South African audiences.
It’s A Man’s World is a theatre play by Durban director and composer Jerry Pooe and the Netherlands-based Het Waterhuis theatre company. The play is directed by Jerry Pooe and Roel Twijnstra and focuses on the issue of macho culture and the role African men play in the spread of HIV. It tells the story of four brothers struggling with issues of power, violence, anger, frustration, bitterness, and emptiness following the death of their mother. This theatrical production is a fairy-tale looking at the reality of society and the role of men today.
It’s all happening as part of Artscape’s Women and Humanity Arts Festival.
