Zulu actress Thembi Mtshali celebrates the poignant history and pain and joy of life in South Africa under apartheid. This moving tribute to the South African spirit tells the story of a Zulu girl who spent most of her childhood forced apart from her parents to find work, only to become a mother herself while still a teenager. It tells of night raids in the townships, the massacre of children in Soweto in 1976 and her eventual escape from the stifling Apartheid regime. But above all, A Woman in Waiting is a story of spiritual survival and the riches of love and cultural identity.| 11 Jun 01 to 30 Jun 01 | The Ambassadors Theatre West End, Greater London Performance Details => Venue archive |
