Vavasati Festival 2019 Discussion: It Wasn't My Intention (play)

by Busisiwe Mazibuko (writer, director, song writer)

In conversation with the female cast.

Six women with different stories are in prison and reveal their stories of self-defence without having knowledge of the legal system. Some fight for other women, some are pushed by circumstance, but it wasn't their intention to break the law. The play addresses the struggle of women in and outside the prison system, and how their experiences changes the way they see life.

The Vavasati International Women's Festival.

Proudly brought to you by the South African State Theatre.

Curated by Mamela Nyamza &
