Black History Month celebrated at The Market Theatre through a play by African-American playwright
The Meeting at The Market Theatre, Newtown Johannesburg ‘The Meeting’ defined as ‘a situation when two or more people meet, by chance or arrangement’- this is truly a meeting not to be missed by theatre goers around Johannesburg. Penned by American playwright, Jeff Stetson and directed by the Artistic Director at Market Theatre, James Ngcobo.
