A PLAY which portrays life in Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe will be performed in Selby next month.
The Rain That Washes was performed last year at the Edinburgh Festival, and the performance at Selby Town Hall will be held on Saturday, April 5.
Chris Jones, Selby Town Council arts officer, said: “I was lucky enough to see the final, sold out performance of The Rain That Washes’ triumphant Edinburgh Festival run, and I knew straight away that we needed to bring this extraordinary play to Selby.
"It’s an urgent, gripping, and at times deeply unsettling coming of age story charting an incredibly turbulent period in southern Africa’s history and told quite brilliantly by actor Ashley Maynard. The most striking, and indeed shocking thing about the tale however, is that it’s entirely true.”
Tickets cost £10 or £12 on the door, and are available from the Town Hall, by phoning 01757 708449, or online at selbytownhall.co.uk
