Shades of Brown archiveA new staging of Michael Picardie's polemical drama that toured to great acclaim across Europe, North America and Africa during the 1970s. Jannie Veldsman, a coloured therapist living and working in a Johannesburg township, has built up eclectic ways of treating psychological problems - especially the personal problems of white women. He is visited by Captain Van Tonder, a notoriously brutal Special Branch policeman. Why? To interrogate him? To evict him? To kill him? Or perhaps the Captain merely has a problem of his own to discuss. Comical, sometimes farcical, this gripping play rises to a climax and the newly revised ending embodies some of the contradictions and paradoxes of the new South Africa.
