Singh's plays reflect, in different ways, on the complexities and
contradictions of life in post-Apartheid South Africa. Set in South
Africa's third largest and most diverse city, focussing on people
of Indian origin and their relationship with other South African
communities, these five plays, "undres[s] Durban, as they take us
away from the neon lights and 'candy floss' to the reality of the
underbelly of post-Apartheid urban and suburban existence."
Professor Betty Govinden Singh is a three-time national award
winner for playwriting via the PANSA Playreading Festival (South
Africa's foremost playwriting contest). Durban Dialogues, Indian
Voice is an anthology of five engaging and eclectic South African
plays by award-winning playwright Ashwin Singh. The plays selected,
namely To House, Duped, Spice 'n Stuff, Reoca Light and Beyond the
Big Bangs represent the complete array of Singh's storytelling
skills in drama as well as satire. Each play reflects, in different
ways, on the complexities and contradictions of life in
post-Apartheid South Africa, and focuses particularly on people of
Indian origin and their relationship with other South African
communities. The plays present a moving portrait of a unique array
of characters and are also punctuated by Singh's trademark humour.
Each one is set in Durban, South Africa's third largest and most
diverse city, and they are described by renowned academic and
critic Betty Govinden as "undressing Durban, as they take us away
from the neon lights and 'candy floss' to the reality of the
underbelly of post-Apartheid urban and suburban existence." This
contemporary play collection from award-winning playwright is ideal
for schools, colleges and theatre companies unafraid of gritty
drama.
