What Is It?

Dr John Kani returns to the Market Theatre stage this November with The Lion and the Lamb MusicalOriginally created by himself and co-founder of the Market Theatre Barney Simon. The Lion and the Lamb tells the story of Jesus the child, Jesus the man and Jesus the Son of God. However, this is the Christ myth told with startling difference. Featuring popular South African gospel music as the backtrack for Kani's electrifying performance.
