Abstract
‘In town the play is an education for the audience, not something that will make them want to take up an issue and challenge the system. You don't expect a white audience to have reflection that leads to action, but with the township audience you do’. Matsemala Manaka
In a series of recent interviews, five leading playwrights describe their experiences and attitudes: Gibson Kente, Matsemela Manaka, Maishe Maponya, Barney Simon, Pieter-Dirk Uys.
