Reviews

Directed with a muscularity and sense of conviction, this beautifully researched and deeply felt performance takes advocacy theatre which talks to the man on the street to a level that is considerably deeper and theatrically more developed than convention dictates. Normally, you might hear the words `community theatre' or `advocacy drama' and shrink away from the product's aesthetic value, understanding it to be a mere one-dimensional extrapolation of bald ideologies. But the adjective `mere' doesn't fit in any understanding of this poignant and hard hitting play. - Robyn Sassen, My View. Ulwembu powerfully reveals the root causes of substance abuse. - South African Police Service
