And The Girls In Their Sunday Dresses

This play by Zakes Mda is a sharp, humorous and deeply moving two-hander set in a sluggish government food-aid queue. 

It centres around two women - a sharp-tongued Lady and a weary, witty Woman (performed by Awethu Hleli and Tamzin Daniels), whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. 

Where: The Baxter Theatre Centre.

When: February 13 to 28. Show times vary.
