SUMMARY:ALBIE SACHS: Fathers\, Sons and Soft Vengeance
DESCRIPTION:Troupe Theatre company in association with Daphne Kuhn presents\nALBIE SACHS\, FATHERS\, SONS\, AND SOFT VENGEANCE \nwritten by Gail Louw\nStarring Graham Hopkins\nand directed by Fiona Ramsay  \nA significant new play awaits to be staged at Theatre on The Square on the public and private life of revered South African activist\, lawyer and constitutional judge\, Albie Sachs. \nTold with warmth and humanity\, the story explores family\, resilience and forgiveness – and asks what soft vengeance means in a world still learning how to heal. \nThought provoking\, accessible and deeply relevant\, this theatre speaks powerfully to South Africa today. The play is his account of an idealistic youth\, wounded survivor\, devoted father and philosophical elder. The play is a poetic slice of biography and as it does not simply recount facts but is told in Albie’s voice recounting experiences of being a son\, a father and an activist. \nAlbie is an inspiring figure who overcame great odds – and the audience should leave\, not just with knowledge\, but feeling transformed by the experience.
