JOHANNESBURG – Joburg Theatre is presenting its upcoming rendition of OLEANNA.
It’s penned by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright David Mamet and directed by James Ngcobo.
The play promises to snare audiences in its exploration of power dynamics, breakdowns in communication, and gender relations within the academic sphere.
READ: In conversation with James Ngcobo – Part 1
In choosing OLEANNA, Joburg Theatre recognises the importance of presenting works that confront pressing issues head-on.
Mamet’s exploration of power dynamics, communication breakdowns, and gender relations within the academic sphere is likely to strike a chord in our current social climate, where discussions surrounding consent, authority, and accountability are more pertinent than ever.
Artistic Director James Ngcobo, spoke to eNCA.
