Buhle Ngaba in 'BLING!'
This acclaimed play by playwright Buhle Ngaba returns to South African stages following a successful run in Europe.
Centred around the legendary Cullinan Diamond, “BLING!” cleverly and hilariously unpacks South Africa’s journey to democracy while exploring themes of wealth, luxury, “selling out” and the repatriation of historical artefacts.
Despite longstanding calls for its return, the Cullinan Diamond remains in British possession. In this bold and imaginative production, the famous gem is brought to life as the charismatic Phatsima Khullinan - a diamond with big dreams and an even bigger mission.
Where: The Ramolao Makhene Theatre at The Market Theatre Laboratory.
