Critically Acclaimed “Far Gone” Comes to Joburg Theatre
After captivating audiences across Europe, Asia, and the USA, the internationally acclaimed one-man play Far Gone arrives at Joburg Theatre this November. Don’t miss this unforgettable theatrical event that’s been hailed as “heart-stopping,” “extraordinary,” and “profoundly moving.”
Written and performed by Ugandan-born John Rwothomack, Far Gone is a gripping, one-man performance that fuses raw storytelling, movement, and poetry to tell the heartbreaking story of a young boy abducted into war.
With humour, heartbreak, and hope, Rwothomack explores the resilience of the human spirit, a deeply personal story inspired by his own near abduction as a child in Northern Uganda.
Directed by Mojisola Kareem, Far Gone balances poetic language and physical theatre to illuminate themes of loss, survival, and identity.
This production is a must-see for theatre lovers interested in drama, politics, African history, and social justice.
