Don't Believe A Word I Say at The Baxter

Don't Believe A Word I Say is a comedic, autobiographical one-woman play written by Tankiso Mamabolo and directed by Faniswa Yisa. Set against the backdrop of poignant childhood memories, the protagonist shares a series of humorous and touching stories, exploring themes of love, loss, trauma, and the complexities of growing up in a socio-economic divide. Through the lens of her experiences as a young black girl, the play invites reflection on the unreliability of memory and the contradictions of adolescence. The performance runs at The Baxter from March 14 to March 22, 2025.
