THE PARROT WOMAN

Charles J. Fourie’s critically acclaimed play The Parrot Woman returns to the Market Theatre after it premiered here some 30 years ago and was last performed in London and Oxford.

Set against the backdrop of the Anglo-Boer war of the previous century this new production features award-wining stage and television actors Gontse Ntshegang and Andre Lotter.

For this production, playwright and director Fourie adapts The Parrot Woman to bring to life a part of history which is seldom told; that many black South Africans were also incarcerated in these concentration camps during the Anglo-Boer war in 1901.
