It’s South Africa, 1976. Be transported to a time where 24-year-old Della is trying to lay low amidst a brewing revolution. She works at the general store and cares for her brother and dad but history comes knocking on her door, twofold. Student protests against the apartheid regime are swelling and her ex, university student Ezra, is one of the movement's biggest supporters.
Melbourne Theatre Company’s Destiny is a transportive production coming to Southbank Theatre in August that will tug on the heartstrings. Can Della protect her family, including her impressionable younger brother, or will the force of revolution, and Ezra, be too strong?
The production stars South African-born Kirsty Marillier (who is so talented she also wrote the play), alongside Barry Conrad (In the Heights) and Clare Chihambakwe (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child). It’s directed by the acclaimed Zindzi Okenyo (Is God Is).
Catch Destiny at Southbank Theatre from August 18 to September 13. If you’re under 30, you can score preview tickets for just $37 or standard tickets start from $75. Book yours here.
