Township Stories

Work:: Township Stories (S01295502871)

A young girl runs away from home after a lifetime of squabbling and abuse, only to find solace in the arms of a hoodlum who believes life's ills can be solved with violence. Elsewhere, a father brutalises his son who is having an affair with a shebeen owner. And, on the fringes of the township a serial killer is on the loose. Welcome to the gritty, vibrant world of Township Stories, where life is cheap and the only way to deal with tragedy is to laugh in its face. Underscored by a collage of vintage Louis Armstrong, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman, kwaito and traditional music, Township Stories is a nail-biting thriller, in the film noir tradition. Please note: This play contains strong and adult content.
