Top playwright tackles thorny issue

Award-winning playwright Mike van Graan’s latest work, Never, Never and Never Again, explores xenophobia through a scripted dialogue staged in Hermanus.

Presented by local performers at Volmoed Retreat Centre and in isiXhosa in Zwelihle, the production brought diverse perspectives on migration, prejudice, government responsibility and human rights to audiences.
