Solomon and Marion by Lara Foot Newton
A delicate and beautifully wrought South African drama, Solomon and Marion is the story of two injured souls searching for redemption in the fragile, post-apartheid South Africa. It won the Fleur Du Cap Award for Best New South African Play in 2011.
"Genius colliding is the overwhelming sense one is left with after watching this' Cape Times 'It's not the surprises - such as they are - that count so much as the shading, each character is exquisitely realised in script and performanceThese two misfits reach across the generational and racial divide for an understanding that's not sentimentalised - they're united by a gallows humour and joint mystification at the downward drift of their country. Where once South African theatre gave voice to hope amid the darkness, the song it sings nowadays is of a profound disillusion.' Daily Telegraph 'Lara Foot Newton has the ability to portray South African interiorand exterior landscapes with the clarity and eye for detail anddialogue which are Fugardian.' Tracy Saunders"
