Critically Acclaimed Drama “Antwoorde” by Zack Mtombeni comes to Theatre on the Square
Theatre on the Square is thrilled to announce the exclusive Gauteng staging of Zack Mtombeni’s remarkable Afrikaans drama, Antwoorde. Following its triumphant premiere at the Suidoosterfees in Cape Town, where it received a standing ovation and rave reviews, this authentic South African play is set to captivate audiences in Sandton City.
Audiences in Gauteng can now experience the extraordinary storytelling and exceptional performances that garnered immense praise at the Suidoosterfees. Antwoorde delves into a deep moral message with a heartwarming yet profound narrative that will leave you moved and inspired.
