Launched to coincide with the 40th anniversary of the Soweto Uprising of 1976, Suddenly the Storm had its world premiere at the Barney Simon at Johannesburg's Market Theatre on 7 June 2016. The production was directed by Bobby Heaney, with set and costume design by Greg King and lighting design by Wesley France.
Dwayne was played by Paul Slabolepszy, Shanell by Charmaine Weir-Smith and Namhla by Renate Stuurman.
The play was subsequently performed with the same cast at the Auto & General Theatre on the Square, Nelson Mandela Square, Sandton, from 27 October 2016.
The action takes place in the office-cum-workshop of a security gate and fence works on the outer reaches of the Far East Rand, the home of an ageing former policeman and his much younger wife.
The time is early summer 2016.
