Ulwembu production brings drug addiction play at Playhouse Theatre
Ulwembu is an incisive theatre production about drug addiction and will come to the Playhouse Loft Theatre for a short season from 5 - 9 April. The play revolves around Whoonga a type of drug largely used in the country which has had a catastrophic effect on communities around South Africa. Despite the serious themes, the creative team are quick to point out that Ulwembu is far from a Say no to drugs play. But rather aims to showcase the facets behind issues faced by societies. To tell us more about the production we are joined from our Durban studios by the Director Neil Coppen.

ACCLAIMED DUMA NDLOVU'S 'THE GAME' AT DURBAN PLAYHOUSE TILL DEC 24!
Acclaimed Duma Ndlovu play for The Playhouse Company’s festive season - another excerpt.
Highly-acclaimed director and playwright Duma Ndlovu’s celebrated play, The Game, has been included in The Playhouse Company’s exciting festive season programme, and runs in the Playhouse Loft Theatre from 15 to 24 December.
Some of South Africa’s top names in the entertainment world will star in the production: Sindi Dlathu; Nqobile Ndlovu; Nomasonto Dlamini; Sheila Khumalo; Buhle Samuels; Lungile Mkhize; and Vuyiseka Cawe.
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.
In The Game, we meet several captivating characters: a spunky 20-year-old who was tried as an adult and convicted at 17. Another is a 25-year-old woman who is the result of the rape of her domestic worker mother and her White employer. These two are joined by a 60-year-old ‘career prisoner’ who displays her experience of being behind prison walls for most of her life.
We are also introduced to a 45-year-old woman whose life was never the same after a group of teenagers abducted and burnt her son to death in the violent period before the end of apartheid. Those who had torched her son were never apprehended, and she was the one who ended up behind bars.
In fact, there is so much intrigue and so many riveting twists and turns in this drama, that it’s not to be missed!
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.

Aluta Humbane Live at the Durban Playhouse, South Africa - Boomerang Part 2
Artist: Aluta Humbane
Song: Boomarang
This song interrogates the complexities of being in a gender fluid relationship with a trans woman, as a heterosexual man.
It unpacks the pressures imposed by society, that ultimately disrupts a private relationship. But because love is the foundation...we always come back to where we have started.
