Winner of the Royal Shakespeare Company / Baxter Theatre Brett Goldin Bursary Award
itsoseng
8 - 27 September 2008


7.30pm

Written and performed by Omphile Molusi.

A Fringe First award-winner at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Time Out Critics' Choice


Fresh from sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and South Africa's Baxter and Market Theatres, award-winning Omphile Molusi tells the story of his hometown, Itsoseng, in his London debut.

A scathing indictment of government indifference, the inhabitants of Itsoseng are still waiting for regeneration thirteen years after apartheid.

'Astonishing... Itsoseng is a cry from the heart, depicting a post-apartheid South Africa that gives the lie to the image of a happy rainbow nation. In the 1980s, South African plays helped to raise awareness of the horrors of the apartheid regime. This one reminds us that the pain is not over yet.'
