Sometimes the most meaningful journeys begin with a chance encounter.
Our story started when acclaimed South African playwright and social commentator Mike van Graan was looking for a stage for his play My Fellow South Africans. What began as a single performance sparked a creative partnership that has brought thought-provoking theatre to Sedgefield year after year.
Since then, Mike’s productions have become a regular highlight on our local cultural calendar, including last year’s mini-festival favourites To Life, With Love, I Can Buy Myself Flowers, and So Over the Rainbow.
This year, Mike returns to the En Route Festival with three powerful new productions:
🎭 HUMANS OF THE STREETS – Three people who once lived on the streets of Cape Town share their moving, real-life stories of hardship, resilience and hope.
🐾 PET-FRIENDLY – A witty and insightful piece of stand-up commentary that uses our love for animals to reflect on the society we live in.
🎭 HELEN OF TROYEVILLE – A compelling solo performance exploring the complex intersection of privilege and poverty in contemporary South Africa.
And a special reading of Abrahams Promise
These are stories that will make you think, laugh, reflect and perhaps see the world a little differently.
