In remembrance of Nelson Mandela, CAST proudly presents the Regional Premiere of SIZWE BANSI IS DEAD by Athol Fugard, John Kani and Winston Ntshona.
It’s 1972 in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, and Sizwe Bansi’s passbook gives him just three days to find work. No work and he’ll be deported. That was four days ago. So when Bansi stumbles across a dead body with a passbook, he asks himself – does his identity card really define who he is? Could he give up his family and his name in order to survive in the time of apartheid?
Fugard, the award-winning playwright, is best known for “‘Master Harold’… and the Boys,” a landmark play about apartheid.
The cast features Ron McClelland and Devin Clark. The directors are Corlis Hayes and Michael R. Simmons, CAST’s Artistic Director. Read more about the cast and creative team.
