Audiences can expect high drama when the gripping three-hand
stage production, Last Supper, plays
at Stable Theatre in Durban for one weekend only, on March 20, 21 and 22.
Presented by Ebukhosini Productions in association with
Stable Theatre, Last Supper is
written by Ntando Mhlongo and directed by Themba Luthuli.
An anniversary is turned into judgment day when the abusive,
if not insane husband (Nelson) unveils a secret about his once unfaithful wife
(Emily). Their only daughter (Liza), who has endured years of agony, pain and
abuse, sides with her remorseful mother.
Nelson's anger peaks with the unfolding of the past and the
two defenceless women who have had to stomach their anger and hatred for years
finally get a chance to put an end to the abuse. His inability to forgive, or
at least reconcile, the past with the present erupts for the first and the last
time. Nelson, the shameless sadist, dares them to end this misery...
Xoliswa Ngema plays Emily, Nomvula Mbokazi takes the role of
Liza, and Thulani Mngandi appears as Nelson. The duration of the show is one
hour.

Supper at Stable Theatre are on March 20 at 19h00 and on March 21 and 22 at
15h00 and 19h00. Tickets R50 can be pre-booked through Computicket on 0861 915
