Mvuzo family
of arts will stage an educational production called The Wedding at the
Playhouse from August 23 to 27.
Written and directed by Mphathy Shozi, the play focuses on a
drug called Woonga, which is currently destroying the lives of the young people
all over South Africa and the importance of education. The drug is highly
addictive and is destroying lives of the youth and communities.
The Wedding had a
season at Catalina Theatre in 2015. Featuring acapella music and poetic narration, it has a cast of 13 and lasts 1 hour 30 minutes.
Schools from
the Durban and surrounding areas are invited to bring learners to
watch the show that will not only serve the purpose of entertainment but also
help to motivate them about education and creating a better future for
themselves, It is a very demanding theatre play not to be missed by our young
generation,” says Shozi.
