The PE Opera House & Brighton Players present - It's Not Me

It’s Not Me is a story devised and developed collectively by Brighton Players that comprise of Mongezi Ncwadi, Xolani Ngesi and Mzwanele Mgijima. It was directed by Mzwanele “Zwai” Mgijima. The story reflects on rays of pain and vengeance that no matter how much we try to move away from our past it sure keeps up with us. And will catch us when we least expect it. Before 1994 South Africa was a blood bath, a theatre of anger and hatred between the oppressed and the oppressors. The police presented themselves as the moat that protected and defended apartheid and all its privileges. Sadly some of the apartheid defenders were easy victims themselves to the freedom fighters.

It’s Not Me tells the story of a man who has fallen in love with the daughter of a former cop he killed accusing him of being a “system” collaborator. What happens when old wounds are opened?

When people are reflecting on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission It’s Not Me remind us why the story of South Africa remains a latent boil.
