A Cut Above The Rest
A Faint Patch of Light
A Faint Patch of Light is a queering of Athol Fugard’s Statements After an Arrest under the Immorality Act to expose black lesbian struggles in South African townships. Nominated for 2 Fleur du Cap Awards in 2019 for Best New Director and Best Actress, this is a story about two women loving together on the margins the night before their death.
Directed by Fleur du Cap nominee Qondiswa James, with inspiring performances by Tiisetso Mashifane wa Noni (director of Fleur du Cap nominated Sainthood) and Indalo Stofile (Heart of Redness, Rock to the Core).
“[Qondiswa James] has created a work that is daring, heartbreaking, beautiful and fragile. This work is an interrogation of black, lesbian women in a way that would not comfortably sit in mainstream theatre, and it exudes its risk from beginning to end… It is powerful beyond words.”
– Megan Furniss, Weekend Special
