Waiting for Nelson
East London-born and Johannesburg-based actor, writer and director Mbasa Tsetsana will be bringing his award-winning production, Waiting for Nelson, to the DUT's Department of Drama and Production Studies to the Courtyard theatre at Saturday 23 July at 6pm.
This professional staging will be doubled billed with a student version of Waiting for Nelson under the direction of DUT directing student Sphephelo Dlamini. Audiences will have the rare opportunity to see two versions of the same production performed one after the other with an interval in-between. The second version will be followed by a Q&A with writer, directors and cast.
Tsetsana published the production under the banner of Off The Wall Plays in 2014. He was then approached by DUT directing student Sphephelo Dlamini, who requested to direct the show for his directing exam. "This production is relevant this year, because of the 40th anniversary of the Soweto Uprisings.
