Destiny | Meet the team

Director Zindzi Okenyo, Playwright and performer Kirsty Marillier, Barry Conrad, Gaz Dutlow, Clare Chihambakwe, John Shearman and Patrick Williams discuss the personal, the political and their excitement in bringing this brand new work to the Sumner.

Set in apartheid-era South Africa, Destiny tells the story of 24 year old Della Meth — who works at the general store, while keeping her younger brother Rocky out of trouble, and her dad off the booze. But when her old flame Ezra shows up with a head full of revolution — and Rocky starts getting ideas — Della's world will be upended by forces that will echo around the globe.
