The Cry of Winnie Mandela at The Market Theatre

Date:
Mar 6-23
Info:
BOOK HERE

The Cry of Winnie Mandela is a compelling journey through history, emotion, and the enduring strength of the female South African spirit. After a sell-out season in early 2024, the production is back in 2025 by popular demand.

Through the imagination of a literary professor, the action centres on the stories of four women who reflect on a period of waiting during the absence of their men. Between intense emotional moments and cleverly injected humour, the dynamic theatrical adaptation weaves together their private accounts, exposing the shadows, isolation, and complexities of their evocative experiences. A series of intimate and powerful conversations unfold as the characters reveal the profound impact of this period of their life, delving into the depths of their longing and uncertainty as they forge their stories to that of the life and times of Winnie Mandela.

The universal theme of waiting is a central motif, allowing the audience to reflect on the historical struggles of women while drawing parallels to their own contemporary lives.

You are invited to join these resilient women as they gather, share their stories, sing, and metaphorically drink their "tea" – a potent blend of strength and vulnerability.

Don't miss this powerful exploration of love, resilience, courage, and the indomitable spirit of women.
