Theatre: Mies Julie
Billed as an explosive new adaptation of August Strindberg's classic Miss Julie, Mies Julie, director Yael Farber locates the play against the remote, bleak beauty of the Eastern Cape Karoo.
Theatre: Mies Julie
Transposed to a post-apartheid kitchen — a potent convergence point of domination, domestic practicality and untenable sadness — a single night, both brutal and tender, unfolds between a black farm labourer, the daughter of his “master” and the woman who has raised them both. Farber has assembled a formidable cast led by Thoko Ntshinga and also featuring Bongile Mantsai and Hilda Cronje. Canadian brothers Daniel and Matthew Pencer perform the music in collaboration with Tandiwe Nofirst Lungisa from the Ngqoko Cultural Group.
