The Island is directed by The Freedom Theatre’s Artistic Director Gary M. The separation, the denial of basic human and political rights, the discrimination and oppression that is evident in countless aspects of daily life. The play also highlights the parallels between apartheid South Africa and Palestine today. The Freedom Theatre’s adaptation of The Island reflects the experiences of Palestinian political prisoners and the abuses within the Israeli prison system.
Antigone, who defies the laws of the state to follow her conscience, and her uncle who sentences her to die for her crime. They spend their days at mind-numbing physical labour and at night rehearse for a performance of Sophocles› Antigone. The Island is set in a prison and revolves around two cellmates: one who is soon to be released while the other is serving a life sentence. The Freedom Theatre’s brand new production is a revolutionary South African apartheid-era drama by Athol Fugard, John Kani and Winston Ntshona, inspired by a true story. So, to my grave, my everlasting prison, condemned alive to solitary death. I go now on my last journey. I must leave the light of day forever, for the Island, strange and cold, to be lost between life and death.
