In June 2001, this South African company’s first two productions, THE MYSTERIES and CARMEN opened at Wilton’s Music Hall in London and within a day of the first reviews appearing both had sold out. Over the next twelve months the company became an international hit, touring festivals in Australia and America, as well as a sell-out run in the West End. Rarely in the world of theatre does a company appear to such instant and universal acclaim. YIIMIMANGALISO THE MYSTERIES is a spectacular African version of the English Medieval Chester Mystery Plays. These timeless Biblical stories are brought to life through exhilarating songs, dance and heart-breaking drama. It is both passionate and uplifting. An altogether stunning piece of theatre that breaths fresh life into some of the greatest stories ever told.
