In partnership with the American Embassy, theatre director James Ngcobo brings American playwright Christina Ham’s dramatic show Nina Simone Four Women to Joburg’s historic Market Theatre for the month of February (timed to coincide with Black History Month), with an all-South African cast and production crew. Featuring Simone’s original music – a unique mix of jazz, blues and folk – the play tells the intimate story of the legendary artist's evolution into an outspoken advocate for racial and gender equality during the upheaval of the Civil Rights era in America.
