The emotionally layered, poignant two-hander drama about a wheelchair-bound former dancer and his youthful carer, Callum’s Will, is being restaged for a short run at Durban’s Seabrooke’s Theatre from October 29 until November 2, 2025. 

Set present-day and set in London, Callum’s Will was created for multi-award-winning actor Darren King by multi-award-winning playwright, director, actress and film maker, Janna Ramos Violante. 

Now exactly 14 years on (almost to the day) Darren King is excited to revisit this piece under the direction of Blessing Xaba.

The role of Will is now to be played by Johannesburg-based award-winning actor, Tafara Nyatsanza. Blessing Xaba has reworked the script to bring it up to date and touch on some of the more relevant issues faced in today’s changing world.

Callum’s Will is being presented at the Seabrookes Theatre, DHS, from October 29 to November 2.

 Show times are:

19h30 Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday

15h00 and 18h30 on Sunday.

There is one performance scheduled for Thursday at 12noon for schools. More will be added if there is demand.

Ticket price R150 (R100 students and OAP).
