Star studded cast play in “The Game”
The production is set in a fictitious women's prison on the eve of South Africa's first democratic elections.
Excitement mounts as the opening night of the acclaimed drama, The Game, draws near.
Presented by The Playhouse Company, The Game has been written and directed by respected director and playwright, Duma Ndlovu.
This celebrated play is one of Ndlovu’s best-known works, others including Bergville Stories, The Ritual and The Journey.
Ndlovu is renowned for creating the popular SABC shows, Uzalo and Muvhango.
The production is set in a fictitious women’s prison on the eve of South Africa’s first democratic elections.
The prisoners are told that one of them will be released to mark the occasion, but the prison sets the cat among the pigeons when they tell the women they will have to decide among themselves who will be released.
Much of the excitement is due to the star-studded cast.
Dawn King, much-loved for her role in SABC1’s Uzalo, plays a fierce, street-wise older woman who has spent her entire adult life in and out of prison.
Lungile Mkhize, another Uzalo actor, takes on the role of Take 5, while Sindi Dlathu and Buhle Samuels, who both star in the SABC show Muvhango, will feature as hardcore criminals Nomsa and Pretty, respectively.
Durban actress, singer and playwright Sheila Khumalo, Newcastle-born actress Nomasonto Dlamini, Vuyiseka Cawe (The Gift, Rhythm City) and Ngobile Ndlovu make up the stellar cast of this riveting play.
The Game opens in the Playhouse Loft Theatre on Thursday, December 15, and runs to December 24.
Tickets are available at Computicket outlets nationwide and are R80 for the preview on 15 December, and R100 throughout thereafter.
