American cast for Durban stage
The powerfully-written work looks at racial prejudice when a young black couple move into a ‘white’ suburb of New Orleans.
ACCLAIMED Amercian playwright Harold Ellis Clark’s stage drama, We Live Here, comes to the Playhouse Drama Theatre on Friday 5 May at 7.30pm.
Clark’s work has often been compared to the plays of South Africa’s beloved Atholl Fugard. The production is being brought to Durban by the International Arts Foundation (INF) of New Orleans, in association with The Playhouse Company.
The powerfully-written work looks at racial prejudice when a young black couple move into a ‘white’ suburb of New Orleans. It addresses the burning issues of hatred, fear and intolerance, which challenge communities the world over.
Starring a fine ensemble cast from the United States, We Live Here opens in The Playhouse Drama Theatre in Durban on Friday 5 May with further performances on Saturday 6 May at 2.30pm and 7.30pm, and Sunday 7 May at 2pm.
Tickets are R175 per person, except for ‘Golden Circle’ tickets which are R250 per person from row A to row E for the evening performances on Friday 5 May and Saturday 6 May.
