The death of an estranged brother forces aging librarian Sipho Makaya, along with his daughter and the niece he has never seen, to confront the betrayals, jealousies and animosities of the past, both political and personal. Exploring the relationship between those who remained in South Africa to lead the struggle against apartheid and those who returned victoriously after living in exile, Nothing But The Truth explores the destruction of a man's aspirations at the very moment when democracy promises their realisation; examining family secrets, sibling rivalry, exile, memory and reconciliation. John Kani, co-creator of the great South African classics Sizwe Bansi is Dead and The Island, is recognised throughout the world as South Africa's greatest actor. He wrote Nothing But the Truth in 2002 and was awarded an Obie for his extraordinary contribution to theatre in the same year.| 12 Jun 07 to 16 Jun 07 | Arts Theatre Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Performance Details => Venue archive |
