Amandla!
Amandla! (Power to the People) charts the remarkable life of Nelson Mandela – from his tribal boyhood to his time as a freedom fighter, through the Robben Island years, to the peak of his fame as President of South Africa.
Re-imagined by the Freewheelers’ company of disabled and non-disabled performers, this momentous tale of struggle, hope and inspiration finds new resonance with a cast who themselves understand ‘struggle’ every day.
Through drama, dance, film, fine art and music, Amandla! demonstrates the range and inventiveness of this important Surrey-based theatre company.
This performance will be BSL interpreted, Surtitled and Audio Described.
Presented by Freewheelers Theatre & Media Company
Written and directed by Chris Haydon
With Terri Winchester, Luke Tye, Daniel Galliford and Richard Watson
Funded by Arts Council England
