Sizwe Banzi is Dead
Syracuse Stage
John Kani, director

Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Tony Award-winning South African classic by Athol Fugard, John Kani, and Winston Ntshona. In this intensely funny and poignant drama exploring the universal struggle for human dignity, a black man in apartheid-era South Africa tries to overcome oppressive work regulations to support his family. Co-creator John Kani performed in the original production and won the 1975 Tony Award for Best Actor. Now, 40 years later, Kani directs his son, Atandwa Kani, in this new international production, co-produced with South Africa's Market Theatre and McCarter Theatre Center.
