A daughter – Matlakala – has a mother who is an addict. She finds herself falling under the same dark cloud as her mother while trying to raise Zazi, her daughter. Will Zazi’s grandfather be able to save his granddaughter? Or has fate marked the next generation too? Will Zazi’s mother be able to escape the fate that ruined her mother?

Next Sunday is the latest winner of the Market Theatre Laboratory’s Zwakala Festival. Over the years, this festival has showcased the talents of such theatre practitioners as the actor Mncedisi Shabangu and Prince Lamla (director of the recent Market Theatre production of Woza Albert!).

Next Sunday will be staged in the Barney Simon Theatre from 16 to 27 May.
