Following a triumphant sold-out season earlier this year, Theatre on the Square is thrilled to announce the return of the iconic South African play, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH by John Kani. Presented with pride by Sello Maake KaNcube and Daphne Kuhn, this highly acclaimed production will grace the stage at Sandton’s Theatre on the Square for an unmissable three-week run, from 3rd – 21st October.
Under the skillful direction of Charmaine Weir-Smith, the production boasts an outstanding ensemble cast, featuring renowned actors Sello Maake Ka-Ncube, Mbali Nhlapo, and Ziaphora Dakile.
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH, which made its debut in 2002, has since garnered widespread critical acclaim and cemented its status as a contemporary South African classic and setwork. The play delves deep into the intricacies of familial relationships and explores the harrowing experiences of those who endured exile during the apartheid era.
Set against the backdrop of South Africa’s relentless struggle against apartheid, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH offers a profound examination of the tension that exists between those who made profound sacrifices to fight for freedom and those who later returned to their homeland as heroes.
With its compelling storyline and an ensemble of exceptional actors, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH promises to deliver a poignant and memorable theatrical experience for audiences of all backgrounds. We are honoured to bring this South African classic to the stage once again and extend a warm invitation to everyone to join us for an unforgettable performance.
Well known journalist Leon van Nierop said it was one of the best productions on stage and Nthati Moshesh who played in the original production absolutely loved it. She went on to say “Memories flooded. Congratulations to the whole team. A must see!” Tickets for NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH are now available for purchase at Computicket or directly at the Theatre on the Square box office or online at www.TheatreOnTheSquare.co.za.
