Why My fair lady matters to LAMTA: an interview with Anton Luitingh and Duane Alexander
2025-01-09"In the context of South Africa in 2025, a production like My fair lady prompts contemporary audiences to reflect on issues of language, identity and gender roles. These are all universal themes that hold relevance and offer valuable insights in a diverse and evolving society like South Africa. We are excited that our graduates get to work in productions with such rich themes and complex characters, where they can hone their craft and also engage with narratives that provoke thought and inspire meaningful dialogue within the African cultural landscape."
