South Africa, 1984 - the fourth decade of apartheid. Two opposing forces struggle for the soul of Thami, a young, brilliant black man. His teacher insists that education, even the inferior 'Bantu' education he is forced to teach, is the way to liberation. But Thami has begun to listen to angrier voices. 'Electrifying' |
This production of My Children! My Africa! originally ran at Tristan Bates Theatre in May 2015 for three and a half weeks, before transferring to Trafalgar Studios in August 2015, for a four week run, to rave Four and Five Star reviews!
