The play by ZS Qangule is in its fourth consecutive season and forms part of the Artscape educational youth development programme, which aims to promote social cohesion, good citizenship and empowerment through the arts.
Directed by Peggy Zinziswa Mongoato and assistant director Phumeza Rashe, Amaza is a thriller set in a rural village in the Transkei. It will run Monday to Friday at 10.30am from 13 to 24 May, 2013, at the Artscape Theatre.
A police detective stationed in Port Elizabeth is investigating a private and personal matter. This case takes him back to the village where he and the woman he married came from. His visit coincides with the double funeral of a couple who were mysteriously murdered in Joburg.
Adultery, deceit and lies are just some of the ingredients of this intriguing tale. His investigation takes him to Joburg, then to Swaziland and back to Port Elizabeth. As he is trying to solve the mystery, he stumbles across the evidence he was looking for in the first place.
Tickets cost R40 per person.
