The Shoe-Horn Sonata
John Misto - 1996
Now, after a half-century separation, the filming of a TV documentary forces them to relive the past. Woven into their 50 years of separation are a shoe-horn and the threads of loyalty and love which form their 'uncommon bond'.
Sense and Sensibility
Kate Hamill - 2016
Set in gossipy late 18th-century England, with a fresh female voice, the play is full of humor, emotional depth, and bold theatricality. SENSE AND SENSIBILITY examines our reactions, both reasonable and ridiculous, to societal pressures. When reputation is everything, how do you follow your heart?
Way Back Home
Niq Mhlongo - 2013
I am a volunteer fighter, committed to the struggle for justice. I place myself in the service of the people, The Movement and its allies. 13 August 1986, Angola Kimathi Tito has it all. As a child of the revolution, born in exile in Tanzania, he has steadily accumulated wealth and influence since arriving in South Africa in 1991. But even though everything appears just peachy from outside the walls of his mansion in Bassonia, things are far from perfect for Comrade Kimathi. After a messy divorce, accelerated by his gambling habit and infidelities, he is in danger of losing everything. And now, to top it all, he’s seeing ghosts. Sometimes what happens in exile doesn’t stay in exile. A caustic critique of South Africa’s political elite from the author of Dog Eat Dog and After Tears (both recently reissued).
