by Fraser…
Grace/Sylvester Stein
A true story based on the book by Sylvester Stein
Director Paul Robinson
In 1950s Joburg nothing stirs… IT JUMPS! Sophiatown, ‘the South African Harlem’
Drum Magazine’s team of brilliant young journalists are bringing black fashion ‘n fun to the streets of Jo’burg. And its star writers are having more fun than most.
Can ‘Shakespeare of the Shebeens’ Themba is flaunting the law by loving a white girl, and Chief reporter Henry ‘Mr Drum’ Nxumalo is steadily exposing apartheid’s cruelties.
But now Sophiatown is being destroyed, crushed by bulldozers. And Henry lies dead, stabbed in the street ..
Based on Sylvester Stein’s searing memoir, Who Killed Mr Drum? is the gripping new production from Treatment Theatre.
