Set in the same prison where Nelson Mandela was held this universal story attacks our ability to passively accept immoral laws. How much pain does a state need to inflict before you fight it? 2018 marks Nelson Mandela’s centenary year and Fio want to celebrate an influential historical icon and ask.Do we ever learn from those who came before us? The Island by Athol Fugard, John Kani and Winston Ntshona Two men, political prisoners and unlikely friends, stagger through days of pointless, back-breaking labour, coping with vicious beatings from the guards and spending their nights remembering a life outside their current misery. They prepare for a performance of Antigone in front of the other inmates and guards – an act of defiance from people who have lost everything... This soaring, award-winning drama draws on the stories that linger from the notorious prison on Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated.
