Welcome to Gomora, once a peaceful town but now a paradise
for gangsters and rapists. With the people of the town fed up with an
incompetent police force, a group of vigilantes try to take justice into their
own hands. Led by a former pastor who is seeking revenge for his wife’s death,
they have risen to restore justice and order in town.
Things soon take a turn for the worse, as it becomes evident
that there is no mob justice without bloodshed. With the death toll rising, the
township is divided into two groups: those who are for the vigilantes and those
against. Yet no one dares speak; until a young man takes it upon himself to
stand against the mob.
Written and directed by JC Zondi, Welcome to Gomora is a project for Drama and Performance Studies
students at UKZN in Pietermaritzburg and is performed with energy and vitality,
with vibrant new talent heralding a new generation of performers.

concession) available at the door only. For more information email: hexagon@ukzn.ac.za
