THE VOICE BEYOND THE VEIL
Wits Amphiteatre

Set in a brutally transitional time in South Africa’s political history,1989 – 2006, the story spans 17 years from pre-democracy to the release of Mandela, the inauguration, 9/11 to 12 years after liberation. A gentile woman falls pregnant and is unexpectedly converted to Islam and renamed as ZAHIRA on her wedding day. It has a devastating effect on her life and her partner’s, including his battle with drug addiction. With divorce not an easy option, 9/11 spurs her to reclaim her life. This is a true story of courage and hope – directed by Sarah Roberts.
