During the 1970’s, the apartheid regime in South Africa was at its height. Seven-year-old Noma Dumezweni only knew a life on the run from the police until one day, her mother chose to leave Noma’s father and his life of activism for refuge in the UK. Fast-forward to 2014, Noma, now an award winning stage actress in London has been offered the role of a lifetime portraying a legendary South African psychologist famous for her interviews with convicted apartheid-fueled mass murderer Eugene De Kock. Noma gladly accepts the role but in doing so, plunges herself into a journey of self discovery as the play moves to South Africa and forces her to reconnect with her childhood, her present life and a father she has not seen in over 30 years.
