And The Girls In Their Sunday Dresses

Zakes Mda's And The Girls In Their Sunday Dresses is a sharp, humorous and deeply moving two-hander set in a sluggish government food-aid queue. This play follows two women - a sharp-tongued Lady and a weary, witty Woman (performed by Awethu Hleli and Tamzin Daniels), whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. While they wait in the queue, their stories unravel with satire and tenderness, exposing the inequalities, corruption and daily bureaucratic battles that shape their world.

A timeless South African classic, it is both biting political commentary and a tribute to human resilience - a reminder that behind every queue lies a story of survival, hope and hard-won dignity. Directed by Mdunyiswa Kweyama Written by Zakes Mda Featuring The Fire's Burning Company: Awethu Hleli and Tamzin Daniels.
