The play reading of COVID WAARHEID / COVID’S TRUTH available online

The play written, and performed, by the SW Theatre SA at the Theatre Arts in Observatory from 10&11th September at 7pm, 12 September both at 3pm and 7pm is now available online.

Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the SW Theatre SA wrote poetry and monologues as part of a module titled Writing The Self. This production was entirely collaborative from start to finish. The course is designed by theatre-maker Jason Jacobs and was conducted online over WhatsApp. Facilitators include Eddie Newman, Babalwa Makwethu. The final performance is filmed and edited by Sema Mogoboa with lighting design by Frans Mandilakhe Zunguze. Concept, design and direction of the play reading are also curated for the theatre, by Jacobs.
