Joburg Theatre Presents Waiting For Nelson

Joburg Admin / June 28, 2019

What Is It? Waiting For Nelson is finally making its way to Joburg Theatre this July. The play made its debut in 2014, and has since toured all over South Africa. It takes a good, hard look at where we are as a country 25 years into our democracy. Set in post-Apartheid South Africa, 21 years after the first democratic elections, it follows a couple confronted by the issue of race. The play does not shy away from harsh human truths, including our complacency in 'the race issue'. Waiting For Nelson examines the idealistic notion of a 'rainbow nation' - a promise touted to South Africans throughout the turmoil of the 1994 elections. This production is a must-see for modern South African audiences, so get your tickets as soon as possible. Written and directed by Mbasa Tsetsana, Waiting For Nelson won the award for Best Drama at the 2014 Youth Arts Festival. It then went on to be performed at The South African State Theatre as part of the annual Youth Arts Festival, as well as at The Market Laboratory, the 2015 ASSITEJ/IATA annual Youth Theatre and Dance Festival at Artscape. A two minute version of the show was also read at the 2017 National Arts Festival in Makhanda. When Is It? Wednesday, 17 July - Sunday, 21 July 2019. Where Is It? Joburg Theatre, Space.com theatre, 163 Civic Bouelvard, Braamfontein, Johannesburg. How Much Is It? Tickets cost R80 per person. Get yours here.
