Two men; one Black, another White.

In the shadow of a historic and horrific crime in Africa, a witness starts to tell his story to a sympathetic scribe. But whose story is it then?

Once told, a story has a life of its own; it can shift its shape. It can change the life of the one who hears it. It can condemn; it can cure; it can kill.

This play traces the powerful life of a tragic story. The results of injustice, terror and violence do not stop at the event itself.

Neither do the identities of the characters stay stable, but morph to explore different ways of witnessing and responding to historical violence.

Devised and performed by celebrated Tanzanian/West Australian filmmaker Martin Mhando and Perth actor/writer David Moody, this production promises a unique chemistry of comedy, wit and tragedy.
