N2  - 'A Century of South African Theatre' demonstrates the impact of theatre and other performances-pageants, concerts, sketches, workshops, and performance art over the last hundred years. Its coverage includes African responses to pro-British pageants celebrating white Union in 1910, such as the Emancipation Centenary of the abolition of British colonial slavery in 1934 organised by Griffiths Motsieloa and HIE Dhlomo, through anti-apartheid testimonial theatre by Athol Fugard, Maishe Maponya, Gcina Mhlophe, and many others, right up to the present dramatisation of state capture, inequality and state violence in today's unevenly democratic society, where government has promised much but delivered little
