DUT Drama Studies presents its seventh
annual isiZulu production, USiza - an
adaptation of Shakespeare’s great tragedy, Julius
Caesar at the Courtyard Theatre running from March 1 to 8, 2019, under the
direction of Siza Ka Mnisi Mthembu, with choreography by Mdu Mtshali and
translated into isiZulu by Sabatha Ngcobo.
DUT Drama keeps the tradition of
Shakespeare alive by consistently interrogating the playwright’s universal and
timeless writings and enduring themes in regular contemporary and new
productions which have toured internationally and have been staged in English
and isiZulu. This adaptation is set somewhere in South Africa, using the
fractious political context of our country as a worthy backdrop to the drama.
USiza runs at the Courtyard Theatre, Durban University of Technology from
March 1 to 8 nightly at 18h00 Advance bookings can be made through Busisiwe
Mqadi on 031 373 2810 / Busisiweem@dut.ac.za – or tickets can be purchased at
the door.
