Happening in 702 Land:  Celebrating 50 years of the Market Theatre’s cultural impact

Gugs Mhlungu chats with Greg Homann, Artistic Director of The Market Theatre, about the theatre’s opening in June 1976 and its evolution from being the theatre of the struggle during apartheid to a leading cultural institution in democratic South Africa. The conversation also reflects on the 50th anniversary programme, which features a diverse line-up of productions and a range of celebratory activities, including exhibitions honouring the theatre's legacy.  Gugs Mhlungu gets you ready for the weekend each Saturday and Sunday morning on 702.
