The Good White

Barney Simon Theatre
11 May – 01 June 2025

In this explosive new play by Mike van Graan, the non-racial project is thrust into the spotlight.

It’s 2016—Jacob Zuma is in power, corruption is rife, and the “born-free” generation is taking to the streets as the #FeesMustFall movement demands change. Four individuals, played by an outstanding cast (Russel Savadier, Renate Stuurman, Vusi Kunene and Shonisani Masutha), are forced to confront their beliefs, their identities, and the choices that define them. As ideals are tested, their journey reflects a nation grappling with its past and future.

Directed by Greg Homann, Artistic Director of The Market Theatre Foundation, this bold world premiere is both a scathing critique and a compelling call to reflection—delivered with the power and theatricality that make for an unforgettable experience.
