WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

New England Premiere - The lives of three disappointed men intersect with volatile consequences in a hotel in a sleepy South African port town, when Thami, the gardener and caretaker, and Johan, the odd-job man and former police officer, conspire to pressure the hotel's lone guest to invest in their diamond mining scheme. The three men find themselves in a power struggle fueled by greed and entitlement. This "cross between David Mamet and Athol Fugard" (The New York Times) is a psychological thriller about desperation and hope, and the glittering promises of the postapartheid society.

RE:Excellent, thought-provoking play
This 3-character play explores the racial and economic tensions under the surface in post-apartheid South Africa. Well-written and well-constructed, the plot explores political issues without being didactic and with a surprising and believable turn of events. The three actors carry equal dramatic weight, and the acting and directing is excellent. Well worth seeing!
