The performance on August 1 of Mother to Mother which appears on the Playhouse
Company’s South African Women’s Arts Festival will take place as a fundraiser for
the Diakonia Council of Churches.
Poignant and powerful Mother to Mother comes to Durban as part of the SAWAF. The intimate
portrayal of a mother struggling to come to terms with the actions of her son
is written by Dr Sindiwe Magona and is billed as a deeply moving story of
forgiveness and reconciliation. The production has toured widely - including to
the Edinburg Festival, the Netherlands and UK. It explores how one unforgiving
moment in an ordinary day has repercussions beyond the imaginable.
Performed by Thembi Mtshali Jones, adapted
and directed by Janice Honeyman. Mother
to Mother runs in the Playhouse Loft: from tomorrow (July 31) to August 3.
Booking for the Diakonia Council of
Churches fundraiser can be made on 031 310 3500 (Switchboard). Bookings for the
rest of the run through Computicket.
