After earning critical acclaim in Joburg, Paul Slabolepszy’s Bitter Winter takes the stage once more—an unforgettable tribute to the giants of South African stage and screen. Hailed as the “play of the year” – Robyn Sassen, and “masterful” – Ryan Enslin, The Sunday Times, this gripping new drama follows legendary classical actor Jean-Louis Lourens and rising TV star Prosper Mangane as they collide at an audition for Six Guns at Sesriem. As they await a hot-shot American director, their creative journeys unfold—revealing humour, heart, and the power of storytelling. Directed by Lesedi Job, starring André Odendaal, Oarabile Ditsele, and Chantal Stanfield.
