Our next project will be a return to darkness for the OTC: South African playwright Reza de Wet’s haunting play African Gothic. Reminiscent of Tennessee Williams and Jean Genet, African Gothic is an atmospheric masterpiece.

A farm lies in ruin. And with mother and father now gone, a brother and sister face eviction by an officious lawyer. Abandoned, they endlessly enact the rituals of punishment once visited upon them by their parents. Widely regarded as a milestone in South African theatre, the multi-award winning play tells the story of their final ‘dance macabre’. Despite overwhelming critical acclaim, it was also fiercely condemned by Afrikaans conservatives as being a subversive portrayal of repression.
