Conversations at the Joburg Theater
Play “Waiting for Nelson” by writer and director Mbasa Tsetsana at the Johannesburg Theater featured a duo of clearly talented actors who comfortably used a spectrum of techniques, sometimes acting, and sometimes maybe not, to illustrate that the theater topic of race and social divisions is not only fictional, and situations are not entirely, or only, black and white.
