The Soweto Uprising happened 50 years ago and a few days later the Market Theatre opened its doors.

While both are significant milestones in our history, the play to see is Rise '76. Set a few days prior to the Soweto Uprising, it shows the hopes, anger and determination of the learners whose actions would change the course of history in South Africa.
