This is a show bursting with physical energy and wit, zest for life, inventiveness and a sense of optimistic fun. Christ comes face to face with apartheid when His 'second coming' takes Him from Jerusalem to Johannesburg on a jumbo jet! A series of lightning character sketches zig-zag through the course of His second, illuminating the stark contrasts of every-day life in South Africa. Tourist spots, like the gold mines and Sun City, are shown against the teeming pavements of Albert Street and the frantic search for work. Lambeth College's BTEC National Diploma in Drama students present an exciting ensemble update of the 1980's South African classic. Originally devised and performed by Percy Mtwa and Mbongeni Ngema, this award winning 2 man show changed the face of South African Theatre.
