Janet FraserJust home from seeing this surprising play with fine performances from all actors at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa. Highly recommend it. Seats still available for January 21 thru 24.
Natasha Mumba’s debut play showcases a cast of Zambian and Canadian actors who take us from downtown Toronto to Zambia’s Copperbelt region to untangle the inner workings of the Kasuba family, their secrets, and their intriguing legacy. Deftly investigating geopolitical and familial power structures through insightful commentary and crackling dialogue, this world premiere explores the clash between personal aspirations, familial expectations, and the steep price some must pay for success.
Edit for specific location.
