Have you been experiencing severe FOMO since hearing about “Making Shakespeare” and the “Shakespeare and Social Justice” conference at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town this past May?
Fear no more. The Shakespeare ZA team is pleased to share with you these fantastic videos!

First up: an overview of the “Making Shakespeare” workshop for theatre-makers.
"Making Shakespeare" was a gathering of theatre-makers that formed part of the triennial congress of the Shakespeare Society of Southern Africa, which took place at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town in May 2019.
Next: a rich conversation between John Kani and Buhle Ngaba.
This conversation between theatre-makers Buhle Ngaba and John Kani took place on the stage of the Sigrid Rausing Studio at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa, on 16 May 2019. The event was part of the Shakespeare Society of Southern Africa's triennial congress, which included a two-day workshop on "Making Shakespeare" and a conference on the theme of "Shakespeare and Social Justice".
And, finally, the inimitable Ayanna Thompson’s keynote lecture on “Shakespeare and Blackface” / “Shakespeare and Unfreedom”. WOW!
This was the keynote address at "Shakespeare and Social Justice: Scholarship and Performance in an Unequal World", a conference hosted by the Shakespeare Society of Southern Africa as part of its 2019 triennial congress. It was filmed at the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town, South Africa, on 16 May 2019.
