After this performance you don't go out of the theatre carrying  light luggage home. ”Free Mandela ", is an impressive  production with a powerful impact. Not just because you wonder how it could be that white South Africa believed they were the crown of the Creation, who could afford to do anything they wished. While the people, the ones with darker skin tones, were little better than slaves.  South Africa's strict system of racial segregation, Apartheid, only ended in 1994. Truly, the piece (in English Language) follows you out of the theatre because racism is a living reality in too many corners of the World.

That gives “Free Mandela " a special impact.

Author and director Paul Stebbings tells the story two Mandelas: Nelson Madiba and his wife Winnie. It is not about hero worship or transfiguration to modern Sainthood. It's about the question what price someone is willing to pay, personally and morally.
