This event is part of the AfroVibes Festival

Described as the “Township Tarantino” Mpumelelo Paul Grootboom is one of South Africa’s most exciting and talked about theatre makers. Welcome to Rocksburg provides a gritty, unsentimental view of life in the townships today. It is a
story about a cash-in-transit heist, the criminals who carry it out, the cops who investigate it, and the community they all live in. The play’s protagonist is a facially disfigured young man, who falls in love with the wrong girl and ends up deep in the criminal underworld playing a cat and mouse game against the criminals and a corrupt police force. Following the tradition of successful Hollywood action movies, this is an original South African action play with a powerful Beauty and the Beast style love story at its core.

Please note that this performance will run for 2 hour and 20 mins with a half-time interval.
