One relationship. Infinite possibilities. 'Let's go for a drink. I
don't know what I'm doing here anyway. One drink. And if you never
want to see me again you never have to see me again.' Nick Payne's
Constellations is a play about free will and friendship; it's about
quantum multiverse theory, love and honey. Constellations premiered
at the Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in
January 2012. It transferred to the Duke Of York's Theatre, London,
in November, and was awarded the Evening Standard award for Best
New Play 2012.
Winner of Best Play for Young Audiences in the Writers' Guild
Awards 2016 The tide was turning - though local governments
disagreed, it would soon be illegal to segregate black Americans
from white Americans on public buses, in waiting rooms or in
restaurants. And yet - in the early 1960s, many states across the
south of America kept discriminating against African-Americans...
In modern day Britain, four actor-storytellers tell the stories of
the Freedom Riders - principled citizens riding buses across
Alabama and Mississippi, drawing attention to this illegal
discrimination, and facing up to terrifying violence with peaceful
resistance. The story of the Freedom Riders is one of ordinary
people becoming a civil rights movement, taking on the
establishment and changing the world. In a time of Michael Brown,
and Trayvon Martin, and Mark Duggan, what does it mean for people
to come together and rise up?
High summer in Glasgow's Southside and a heatwave bears down on the
residents of Govanhill, driving them off the streets. Tensions are
running high and fantasy and reality are becoming blurred. Fighting
to reclaim their neighbourhood, the lives of a sleep-deprived new
parent and his civic-minded wife begin to unravel. Meanwhile an
ambitious Hutchie boy, a pair of young missionaries, a performance
artist and her alter ego and an unscrupulous property manager, are
forced to confront their monsters. Fever Dream: Southside is a
surreal comic thriller and major new production by Glasgow-based
writer Douglas Maxwell.
Hierdie drama handel oor tien tieners in ’n bos by ’n oorlewingskamp waar spoke, hormone, groepsdruk en goggas die senuwees behoorlik laat knyp. KAMP KOERSHOU is nie vir sissies nie. Want grootword is nie “lekker” nie. Grootword is pyn. En “verwonding".
Die tien jeugdiges vertrek op 'n oorlewingskamp, in 'n bos, onder toesig van 'n paramilitaire instrukteur. Dit is hulle rite of passage sodat hulle weerbaar ‒ paraat! ‒ die grens na volwassenheid kan oorsteek. Maar hoe hou jy koers as jy nie weet waarheen jy wil gaan nie?
Die toneelstuk is in 2012 by die KKNK opgevoer met regie deur Marthinus Basson en Stian Bam in die hoofrol.

More than one million people from all walks of life have been
uplifted and entertained by Heaven Bound, the folk drama that
follows, through song and verse, the struggles between Satan and a
band of pilgrims on their way down the path of glory that leads to
the golden gates. Staged annually and without interruption for more
than seventy years at Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church
in Atlanta, Heaven Bound is perhaps the longest running black
theater production. Here, a lifelong member of Big Bethel with many
close ties to Heaven Bound recounts its lively history and conveys
the enduring power and appeal of an Atlanta tradition that is as
much a part of the city as Coca-Cola or Gone with the Wind.
