Amaxelegu (No Under 16 SNL and No late entry)

This brand new play by Qondiswa James is a journey into the complexity of present-day relationships. ‘Amaxelegu’ follows the short-lived relationship of a non-monogamous young couple and the woman on the peripheries who cleans up after them. It is set in the bedrooms of the characters in a non-descript city in South Africa. They navigate the transactions of class and gender as they move between various private and domestic contexts. This edgy and beautifully observed story has emerged from the Market Theatre’s Play Development Programme under the mentorship of Artistic Director Greg Homann.
