With her political and provocative new play BONES
Award-winning writer Kay Adshead returns to The Bush Theatre with her political and provocative new play BONES.
At night, a young black boy is questioned by a white South African policeman. A terrible incident, and the truth is buried. 36 years later, the truth is dug up.
A spine-tingling tale with shades of the supernatural, BONES is a ruthless excavation of South Africa in 2006 and, in an age of threats, retribution and bloody revenge, it is an anthem for hope.
Starring Pauline Moran (Poirot’s Miss Lemon) and Sarah Niles (for whom the part of ‘Beauty’ was written, and who also starred in Adshead’s The Bogus Woman).
With live accompaniment by Joe Legwabe, the internationally renowned South African musician of Ladysmith Black Mambazo, who has recorded with many artists including Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Hugh Masekela, Peter Gabriel and Sting.
