History and the heart both have a habit of sweeping you away. This family drama serves as a potent reminder that the past is always with us.
Enter South Africa in 1976. Like countless 24-year-olds, Della juggles family, love, work and dreams, but the spectre of apartheid threatens to tear apart even the most unshakeable bonds. Revolution is in the air, and it comes at a price. When her old flame Ezra shows up with a head full of dangerous ideas, Della’s world will be upended by forces that will echo around the globe.
Written by and starring award-winning South African-born actor and playwright Kirsty Marillier and directed by Zindzi Okenyo (Is God Is), Destiny is an intimate drama of allure and loyalty set against the canvas of world-changing events.
Buoyed by the spirit of social revolution that came to a head in the 1970s, this world premiere captures the era’s music, fashion and sense of freedom in a fierce, funny, and unforgettable tale.
