SUMMARY:SHOCKWAVE
LOCATION:Mannie Manim\, Market Theatre\, Johannesburg
DESCRIPTION:SHOCKWAVE is a brand-new historical drama by Chantal Stanfield 
 set during the height of the turbulent last decade of Apartheid South Afri
 ca. The story unfolds against the backdrop of the countrywide\, ongoing St
 ate of Emergency\, declared by P.W. Botha in 1986. The spectre of a new 
 ‘Gay plague' looms large while homosexuality is illegal and stigmatised.
  The story is set in a world of moral compromise\, where issues of race\, 
 sexuality\, and religion intersect. The drama explores themes of secrecy\,
  safety\, and morality\, when ‘Larry’\, a closeted so-called Coloured 
 librarian\, is forced to seek lodging with the deeply religious widow ‘S
 ister Debbie’\, on the Cape Flats where police casspirs skulk on every c
 orner. The broader community is shown by ‘Sister Susan’\, an elder in 
 the same church. ‘Herb’\, his senior White colleague\, shows Larry an 
 alternative reality. All the waves of pressure Larry feels ultimately accu
 mulates and pushes him to make difficult choices. SHOCKWAVE runs from 15 O
 ct to 8 November 2026 in the Mannie Manim Theatre.\n\nBoletos: https://www
