Too Late at Joburg Theatre

TOO LATE is a dramatic, humorous, heart-breaking snapshot of mid-70’s South Africa / Soweto; a reflection and a reminder of a distant and painful past. This is the era of apartheid police brutality, pass laws, shattered dreams and on-going tragedy and loss. The protagonist is a young man called Saduva. In characteristic Kente style it is the human interest story and the indestructible power of the community that shines through the work. Considered to be prophetic at the time the work remains hauntingly relevant for today’s audience. With evocative music, played by a live band on stage, insightful performances, laughter and tears, TOO LATE is staged as a flagship of the National School of the Art’s Festival of the Arts and helps mark 50-years of being at the forefront of specialist arts education.
