Famous actors star in The Game
Catch Duma Ndlovu's play at the Playhouse Loft Theatre this festive season.
HIGHLY-acclaimed director and playwright Duma Ndlovu’s play, The Game, has been included in The Playhouse Company’s exciting festive season programme, and will run in the Playhouse Loft Theatre from Thursday, 15 to Saturday, 24 December.
Sindi Dlathu, Dawn King, Nqobile Ndlovu, Nomasonto Dlamini, Sheila Khumalo, Buhle Samuels, Lungile Mkhize and Vuyiseka Cawe are some of South Africa’s top names in the entertainment world and will star in the production.
The Game is set in a fictitious women’s prison in Middelburg just a few months before South Africa’s first democratic elections, and amid the crumbling embers of the apartheid state.
The prisoners are told that one of them will be released to mark the occasion. The catch is that the prisoners must decide among themselves who is to be released.
This sets the cat among the pigeons and what follows is a gritty telling of each prisoner’s fascinating personal story.
The Game is full of intrigue and riveting twists and turns.
Duma Ndlovu is a Soweto-born director, producer, journalist and playwright who is well-known for works such as Bergville Stories, The Game, The Ritual and The Journey. He is the creator of both Muvhango and Uzalo, two of South African television’s most popular television series.
