16 June street
Theatre / Princess Alice

In the heart of Cape Town, amidst the bustling streets and the whispers of history, "Isilwane Esimnyama" unravels the tragic tale of a young girl caught in a web of injustice.

 

The play opens with the vibrant energy of the city, contrasting sharply with the hidden shadows of its past. Our protagonist, Uyinene is a spirited young girl with dreams as bright as the African sun. She spends her days navigating the labyrinthine alleys, weaving through the colorful tapestry of Cape Town's diverse communities. Yet, beneath the surface, an undercurrent of danger lurks.

 

Uyinene's life takes a devastating turn when she becomes entangled in the corrupt dealings of the local post office. Unbeknownst to her, the post office is a hub of illicit activities, its walls echoing with whispers of bribery and deceit.
