I AM A WOMAN

Brand new one-woman play by novelist Nthikeng Mohlele, set in contemporary and cosmopolitan Gauteng. The piece is anchored around the grand themes of love and belonging, female identity and feminist sentiments about the place of women in modern South Africa, tragedy and loss, and about the interplay between personal and societal tensions. The central premise of the play is an existential examination of the hearts of humans; what it means to love, to have a meaningful life and, how fate and chance can either enrich or derail personal dreams and agency. Emotive, philosophical, humorous and often deadpan; the piece is a mosaic of performance flowers waiting to bloom.
