When Swallows Cry

When Swallows Cry interweaves three stories about the mobility of Africans in our contemporary world, with three actors each playing contrasting characters in the three different playlets, with one story set in Australia, another in the USA and the third in Africa.   When Swallows Cry was commissioned by Ibsen International, a Norwegian company, in 2016 as a part of a project to produce new plays on the global theme of migration and refugees. It premiered at the Market Theatre, Johannesburg in January 2017 where it played to critical acclaim and sold-out houses. In June 2018, it was awarded three of the major prizes for theatre in South Africa: Best Director, Best Script and Best Production with all three actors also having been nominated in the Best Actor category.
