The National Theatre of Namibia (NTN) under its Premier Production Project is staging And the girls in their Sunday Dresses, a play by Zakes Mda, acclaimed South African novelist, poet and playwright.
The NTN's Premier Production Project is aimed at staging productions with international themes and standards. These are either commissioned or self-produced works. These productions bring together the best of Namibia's actors, directors, producers, designers and technicians to present some of the world's challenging text to life on stage. The play is directed by Namibian director, Vickson Hangula and award-winning actor Odile Muller as the lady and six-time Theatre and Film Award Nominee Sepiso Mwange as the woman.
And the Girls in their Sunday Dresses is a highly entertaining and humorous story of two characters The woman and the lady who meet during a long wait in government queue for subsidised rice. The lady has brought her chair with her; she is a retiring prostitute, preoccupied by what has defined her for many years. Her mannerisms and appearance which she thinks all mark her as a sophisticated woman of the world. The woman, a domestic worker is a far less complicated and an insightful person. She is the one with the food, this make the two characters inter-reliant. As they wait, they share their individual stories and heartbreaks, and resolve to stop waiting and seize control of their lives.
This infectious, life-affirming and wonderful production sparkled with womanly wit, is sure to warm your heart on a cold winter's night, a real treat for the whole family. Get your tickets early to avoid disappointment. The production will be on staged from the 14 and 15 July at 19:00 at the NTN Backstage.
